A Real Madrid star did everything he could to leave last summer.
In recent seasons, Andriy Lunin has been Real Madrid’s backup goalkeeper. First with Thibaut Courtois, then with Kepa Arrizabalaga, who joined the club this summer to replace the Belgian after his serious ACL injury.
Lunin, addressing El Chiringuito, revealed he had considered leaving Madrid in order to get regular first-team football elsewhere.
“At the end of last season I was thinking about it. It’s normal when you don’t play, but Real Madrid has always been a dream since I was young. We don’t really want to leave, but we always want to play, we train to play, we want to feel the emotions of the matches.
“We’ll see, but for now I’m focusing on training. There were offers from other clubs, but I didn’t speak to them, there was nothing serious.
Lunin’s contract at Real Madrid expires at the end of this season, and with Kepa keen to stay and Courtois due to return from injury at the start of the 2024-25 campaign, it wouldn’t be surprising if he moved on to new horizons. ‘next summer.
