The Ukrainian goalkeeper has received a contract extension offer from the club for four more seasons, but his agent, Jorge Mendes, has decided to delay this proposal.

Andriy Lunin is in his seventh season at Real Madrid without making a significant impact. Despite his opportunities due to Courtois’ injury last season, the Belgian’s return to form sidelined Lunin. He’s now contemplating his future, with several clubs interested in him. However, his current contract with Real Madrid, with a year remaining and a €30 million valuation, complicates a transfer.

Andriy Lunin’s impressive season has led Real Madrid to consider extending his contract for an additional four seasons. In fact, some media sources have reported that negotiations have concluded, but there has been no further information on the deal.

Real Madrid is increasingly convinced that Jorge Mendes will reject the contract extension offer for Andriy Lunin, with the goalkeeper planning to complete his final contract year and leave as a free agent in the summer of 2025. Lunin could become a free agent as early as January 1st, allowing him to choose a new club, potentially in the Premier League. Real Madrid is waiting for Lunin’s response, as his lack of feedback is delaying their potential move to secure Kepa if Lunin decides to depart. Lunin faces a choice: leave for more playing time or remain as Courtois’ backup until 2026.
