When Carlo Ancelotti decided to put Thibaut Courtois in goal for the Champions League final match against Borussia Dortmund, he took a significant risk.
Ancelotti’s choice may have some implications this summer, particularly as we go into the summer transfer window, despite the fact that the move became profitable.
Furthermore, new sources suggest that Andriy Lunin, who was anticipating a start in the final of the UCL, is now contemplating a transfer away from Santiago Bernabeu because he is worried about his place in the club. Lunin was expected to play in the final.
As of right now, Lunin is in possession of a renewal offer, which has the potential to secure his position at Santiago Bernabeu until the year 2029. On the other hand, the goalkeeper is not quite certain about renewing his contract since he is aware that Real Madrid will always consider Courtois to be the best option.
While this is being taken into consideration, the Ukrainian star has been attracting a large number of prospective suitors, with Manchester United and Atletico Madrid being among the teams who are interested in acquiring his talents.
Lunin is a transfer target for Arsenal.
Arsenal, as well, seems to be interested in acquiring Lunin’s services over the next summer, as reported by COPE (with attribution to Mundo Deportivo).
Due to the fact that Lunin had an outstanding season with Real Madrid, the Premier League giants are seeking to replace their current goalkeeper this summer. Lunin has emerged as an attractive prospect for the position.
In spite of the fact that star goalkeeper Courtois was out for virtually the whole of the season due to a long-term injury, Lunin’s spectacular efforts throughout the season allowed Real Madrid capture the double.
Lunin is being constantly monitored by Arsenal, according to the source, and the club is anticipated to use any chance that presents itself to acquire the services of the Ukrainian international.
Lunin’s relationship with Ancelotti has also been significantly impacted, and all indications point to the possibility that he will be leaving the Santiago Bernabeu in the summer of this year. This is in addition to the fact that Lunin has expressed his intentions to depart.
