However, the point remains that there are some key players who are wanted by other top European clubs. Depending on their playing time status at Real Madrid, taking a move away could benefit some players more than others. After all, Real Madrid is a club which is packed with talent in their squad, so it is difficult for Carlo Ancelotti to promise game time to everyone.
One of the players who has sadly suffered this unfortunate fate is Andriy Lunin. The Ukraine international oozes quality, which was shown by his performances when Thibaut Courtois was injured last season. However, when Courtois is fit, it's impossible to bench the Belgian, so Lunin has to play second-fiddle, which he understandably does not strive for.
According to a report from AS, Andriy Lunin has tempting offers elsewhere. In fact, they highlight Arsenal as presenting a "brilliant" offer to Andriy Lunin to join them instead of staying with Real Madrid. However, the point remains that Andriy Lunin is undecided on his future and he will take more time to contemplate his next move.
Andriy Lunin is still just 25 years old, which is very young for a goalkeeper. Therefore, he has his entrie future ahead of him and it's shaping up to be a promising future. The ultimate goal of any player is to play for Real Madrid but unfortunately, given external circumstances out of his control, this dream is not likely to be a reality for Andriy Lunin.
It must be said, though, that it's almost as unlikely he will make it in the Arsenal starting lineup. After all, EURO 2024 and Premier League Golden Glove champion David Raya is the clear option between the sticks, having recently been signed permanently by Mikel Arteta. So, it's confusing why Andriy Lunin would consider Arsenal if he leaves Real Madrid.
However, Mikel Arteta does have the "gift of the gab" as they say in London, meaning he has the ability to sell a dream to Lunin. Perhaps Lunin sees Arsenal as a golden opportunity to make the starting lineup in an exciting project whereby Arteta wants to beat Man City to the Premier League title.
Where do you think Andriy Lunin will play next season?
