Real Madrid are set to sign a contract extension with Andriy Lunin until 2029 this summer, but there are some doubts whether he will be at the club in a few months. It seemed he was happy to compete with Thibaut Courtois for a place in the team next season, but the Belgian gets the nod over L.The moon Unin in the Champions League final could put his future in doubt.
According to Relief, Lunin is not happy with the fact that he has to leave the bench in the final of the Champions League against Borussia Dortmund, after being one of the key reasons that they made it there in the first place. The Ukrainian believes he has legitimate reasons to be frustrated with Carlo Ancelotti.
Although it is no one's fault that he has been isolated while recovering from his fever this week, the fact that he will only see his teammates on game day (he got to travel on Saturday to reduce the risk of infection), do little to improve their sense of frustration. Lunin wanted to stay in the Spanish capital this summer, but Real Madrid he fears that this might arouse the desire to move, and certainly those who advise him, from his father to his partner to his agent, will be able to advise him.
Part of the reason the Whites committed to a new long-term contract was to protect against this exact possibility. If Lunin is looking for a move, they could demand a much higher fee for the 25-year-old. Equally, it is true that Lunin has shown himself to be a high-level alternative to Thibaut Courtois, who is coming off a serious injury and in his thirties, and finding someone of a similar level to play behind him seems a complicated task.
