Real Madrid is expected to sign goalkeeper Andriy Lunin, 25, to a long-term contract.

Real Madrid are close to signing the goalkeeper, with a decision already made, according to English publication Football España, citing Spanish publication Diario As.

The Ukrainian national team goalkeeper signed for Real in 2018. He has since bounced around on loan to CD Leganes, Real Valladolid and Real Oviedo, but his opportunity came ahead of this season when first-choice Thibaut Courtois, 32, went under the knife with an anterior cruciate ligament injury in training.

Lunin was again a candidate when Real signed Kepa Arrizabalaga on a one-year loan from Chelsea. However, 안전놀이터 Kepa’s sudden injury departure forced him back into the starting lineup. He has kept 11 clean sheets in 24 games, including 18 this season.

During the latest negotiations, there was talk that the deal could fall apart when Lunin switched his agent from Polaris Sport to agent tycoon Jorge Mendes. However, both Lunin and Real are keen to re-sign with each other, so it’s unlikely to change the course of events.

Real would like to reinstate Courtois in the starting role if he returns next season. 카지노사이트 추천 However, the club believes that if Courtois continues to have fitness problems or regresses in his game, they will be able to replace him with Lunin at a moment’s notice.

Lunin, meanwhile, won the Golden Glove after leading Ukraine to the 2019 FIFA U-20 World Cup in Poland. Their final opponent was South Korea, led by Jung Jung-yong (Gimcheon Commerce). Despite conceding a penalty kick goal to Lee Kang-in, the Koreans did not concede a goal the rest of the tournament, winning 3-1.
