Manchester United and Bayern Munich are reportedly keen on signing 25-year-old Real Madrid goalkeeper Andriy Lunin.
According to Fichajes, Manchester United will compete with Bundesliga giants Bayern Munich in the race to sign Real Madrid goalkeeper Andriy Lunin. The 25-year-old has been outstanding for the Spanish club this season, especially in the absence of Thibaut Courtois.
The Belgian international has missed most of the season due to his knee issues, and Lunin has stepped up in his absence and produced impressive performances. So, it is hardly surprising why Real Madrid want to tie him to a new contract.
The Ukrainian goalkeeper was outstanding for Real Madrid in the Champions League, and he helped them win the tournament. He is unlikely to be a regular starter for Real Madrid next season when Courtois is back from his injury problems, and it will be interesting to see if the player is ready to leave the club in search of regular playing time.
Manchester United and Bayern Munich need goalkeeping reinforcements
Manchester United need a quality goalkeeper to compete with Andre Onana. The Cameroonian international has been quite inconsistent since joining the Red Devils, and he needs more competition for places to improve. Lunin has thus emerged as a target for Manchester United.
The 25-year-old Real Madrid goalkeeper could compete with Onana for the starting spot, and the Ukrainian will certainly fancy his chances of starting regularly for the Red Devils. He has proven his quality in La Liga and the UEFA Champions League. Lunin is certainly good enough for the Premier League as well.
Meanwhile, Bayern Munich need to plan for the future as well, and Lunin could be the ideal long-term replacement for Manuel Neuer. The opportunity to play for clubs like Manchester United and Bayern Munich will be quite exciting for the 25-year-old goalkeeper, and it will be interesting to see if Real Madrid are willing to sanction his departure.
Bayern Munich and Manchester United are among the biggest clubs in the world, and the opportunity to play for them will be hard to turn down for most players. If they are willing to provide him with ample game time, that 25-year-old will be doubly excited to join them.
