Real Madrid may end up parting ways with Andriy Lunin during the summer transfer window if the Ukrainian decides he doesn't want to act as Thibaut Courtois' back-up. His contract expires in 2025, which means Los Blancos are in the uncomfortable position of having to find an acceptable sale if the Ukrainian decides his future is away from the Spanish capital.
If Lunin goes, the expectation is that his replacement would be Kepa Arrizabalaga, who was on loan at Real Madrid last season. The 29-year-old agreed to play second fiddle to Courtois, and chances are another deal with Chelsea wouldn't be too difficult.
Kepa would welcome a return to Real Madrid, however Brand have revealed that the “Basque keeper” is mulling over an offer from Al-Ittihad. He asked for time to come to a decision.
It is likely that Kepa's answer to Al-Ittihad will come soon enough. If he accepts, and Lunin leaves too, Real Madrid would be in a difficult position to scramble to sign a new “backup keeper” for the start of the new season.
