Over the last several years, Real Madrid has acquired a significant number of players from Chelsea. Both Eden Hazard and Thibaut Courtois have been given permanent contracts to play for the club. The former never returned to his previous level of performance, but the latter went on to become the finest goalie in the world. During the summer, when the Belgian player sustained an injury to his anterior cruciate ligament (ACL), Kepa Arrizabalaga was brought in on loan from the Premier League team.
Before Kepa suffered an injury himself, he was the starting goalkeeper for Real Madrid. However, he needed to take a break. It turned out to be a rather minor issue, and he returned a few weeks later.
However, at that time, Andriy Lunin had already shown his worth by being selected for a series of games in the starting eleven. Kepa, on the other hand, had a difficult time delivering his finest performance after returning.
As a consequence of this, it would seem that Lunin has surpassed Kepa in the hierarchy of goals at Real Madrid, and he is now their number one player. On the other hand, his long-term future with the club is still up in the air.
Chelsea is interested in acquiring a Real Madrid player who is currently in good form.
Prior to his current run of form, it was anticipated that Lunin would depart the following summer. Nevertheless, that is still a possibility. Considering that Courtois will be the starting player when he returns, would he be interested in remaining at Santiago Bernabeu, or would he be more interested in joining a top club after generating interest in his signing as a result of his recent strong run of play at Real Madrid?
Todofichajes has stated that Chelsea have their sights set on Lunin as a potential player. As Robert Sanchez continues to hold the starting position, they are seeking for someone else to compete with him. To get the Real Madrid goalkeeper, who is 24 years old, the Blues are prepared to trade with Kepa in order to acquire him.
Whether or if Lunin will really make the transfer to Chelsea is something that is still up in the air now. In many respects, it has the potential to be the ideal option for all parties concerned, in the event that the 24-year-old does not choose to continue living in the capital of Spain.
