Real Madrid is now focusing on the search for departure for first team players, after the signing of Alvaro Carreras. There are a number of candidates who can leave in the coming weeks, and one of them is Andriy Lunin.
In recent years, Lunin has regularly been associated with a step away from Real Madrid, but on every occasion he remained as the backup of Thibaut Courtois. But the situation can be different in 2025, because there is now another chance to be a starter, has now emerged.
As reported by Marca, Villarreal is interested in signing Lunin, which they want to bring in as an experienced head at Champions League level. The Ukraine international has included in the competition for Real Madrid several times, and he could now do this for the yellow submarine.
However, it will not be easy for Villarreal to sign Lunin, which they would like to compete with Luiz Junior – this would mean that Diego Conde would leave. An investigation has already done a possible loan agreement, but Real Madrid is probably not sure if they let the goalkeeper go, since a replacement would be needed.
It can also be difficult for Villarreal to convince Lunin to participate, since he is said to be not sure about leaving Real Madrid this summer. Moreover, there is a chance that he would not be a nailed starter in La Ceramica, since Junior is strongly considered by head coach Marcelino Garcia Toral and other club officials.
It is still to be seen whether Lunin will leave Real Madrid this summer, but at the moment it would be unlikely.
