Legendary forward of Kyiv Dynamo Igor Belanov said what he thinks about the situation in which Ukrainian goalkeeper of this team Andriy Lunin found himself at Real Madrid.
Igor Belanov"I am sure that it will not happen that next season Lunin will return to the bench of Real Madrid, giving way to Courtois in the main lineup. His contract with the Madrid club expires in 2025, and Lunin is in no hurry to renew it. He realizes that now it is very important for him to show himself at Euro 2024, as he will be watched by scouts of many important clubs in the world.
If Lunin plays successfully at the European Championship, Real Madrid will receive many offers from top clubs and, perhaps, will let their Ukrainian goalkeeper go. Andriy is definitely not happy with the prospect of being an eternal number two, and with no guarantees of a stable game, he will want to leave.
Keeping a goalkeeper of such quality on the bench and then letting him go after a year for free is simply not profitable for Real Madrid. Therefore, I see only two possible outcomes of this situation: either Lunin will get a promise to play consistently for Real Madrid and sign a new contract this summer, or he will be sold to another top club. The press, for example, has already reported interest in Andrei from Bayern Munich, who need a replacement for Manuel Neuer," Belanov's words are quoted by AS with reference to Winwin.
