Real Madrid are reportedly willing to approve the sale of goalkeeper Andriy Lunin if a satisfactory offer arrives this summer, according to a report from AS<\/em>. While the club is not actively seeking to offload the Ukrainian shot-stopper, they are open to discussions should a proposal suit both parties.<\/p>

Lunin Rise to action, Courtois Returns from Injury<\/h3>

Lunin enjoyed a breakthrough spell last season, stepping up admirably in the absence of Thibaut Courtois, who was sidelined for several months due to injury. The 25-year-old showcased composure and quality under pressure, delivering several crucial performances and proving himself capable of wearing the No. 1 jersey for one of the biggest clubs in world football.<\/p>

However, with Courtois now fully recovered and back in goal, Lunin finds himself once again relegated to a backup role. The Belgian international remains the undisputed first choice at the Santiago Bernabéu and is contracted until 2026, with a renewal already agreed that will extend his stay to 2028.<\/p>

This long-term commitment to Courtois significantly narrows the window of opportunity for Lunin to secure regular minutes at Madrid.<\/p>

Post-Club World Cup Decision Looms for Lunin<\/h3>

Lunin’s<\/a> future is expected to be evaluated after the FIFA Club World Cup, where Courtois is anticipated to retain his starting spot. While Lunin remains a valued squad member, Real Madrid are aware of his ambitions for regular playing time and will not block a move should the right offer come along.<\/p>

The Ukrainian has a long-term contract with Los Blancos, but both the player and the club acknowledge that his development may be best served elsewhere if his path to the starting XI remains blocked.<\/p>

With interest likely to build after the Club World Cup, the coming weeks could prove decisive in shaping Lunin’s future — whether he remains as a capable deputy in Madrid or seeks a starting role elsewhere in Europe.<\/p>
