Andriy Lunin is leaving Madrid, but not Spain: he has a new team in LaLiga

The Ukrainian is not getting any opportunities, and one of the LaLiga teams wants to go after him

Andriy Lunin is a very talented goalkeeper who has made it clear on many occasions that he deserves to play with the best. In fact, when Courtois was injured, Lunin took on the role of main goalkeeper without being the favorite. He quickly earned the respect of the Madridists and his performance in the Champions League was excellent.

Despite his unbelievable saves, Real Madrid have preferred Courtois, a goalkeeper desired by every team and who tops the list of the best current keepers. In this situation, Andriy Lunin has had to watch what his team was doing from the bench and hasn't had opportunities. Now, everything could change if what the rumors claim is confirmed; another LaLiga team wants him.

Andriy Lunin, Real Madrid and the possible offer

Real Madrid have gone through their worst year in recent times and are already looking to get back on track with signings and a good restructuring. Those from the capital aren't used to a trophyless season and Florentino doesn't want it to ever happen again. For this reason, Carlo was removed from the team and Xabi Alonso arrives as a reference point.

The Spaniard isn't afraid of changes and what he wants is for Real Madrid to become champions of as much as possible again. There are no expected changes in the goal, so Andriy Lunin, under contract until 2030, has to make a decision. Although it wasn't expected, a club he already played for in 2020 has shown interest in him and wants him as a starter.

We're talking about Real Oviedo, who have recently been promoted to the First Division after many years of trying. With Cazorla at the helm and without knowing for sure if he'll stay, the board wants to strengthen the team. They've thought of Andriy Lunin, who was already on loan 5 years ago and could return in search of playing time.

Andriy Lunin and his possible departure from Real Madrid

Andriy Lunin won the affection of Real Oviedo's fans, but it's likely that won't be enough. Although the Ukrainian would accept leaving on loan, he'd only do so to a team that plays in the Champions League. The Asturian club, for now, will fight to stay in the First Division.

In this situation, it's unlikely that we'll see Andriy Lunin at Real Oviedo, but it's not impossible. Over the coming months, we'll know what ends up happening in Real Madrid's goal.
