Liverpool are reportedly keen on signing 25-year-old Real Madrid goalkeeper Andriy Lunin to replace Alisson Becker this summer.
According to report by Graeme Bailey on HITC, Liverpool are keeping tabs on 25-year-old Real Madrid goalkeeper Andriy Lunin as a replacement for Alisson Becker. The Brazilian international is a target for Saudi Pro League clubs, and it will be interesting to see if Liverpool are willing to sanction his departure anytime soon.
Alisson is widely regarded as the best goalkeeper in the world, and replacing him will prove to be very tricky. With that said, Lunin had an impressive season with Real Madrid and he helped them win the league title and the UEFA Champions League.
Thibaut Courtois missed the majority of the last season with injuries, and Lunin had plenty of opportunities to showcase his qualities as a starter, thus enjoying his breakthrough campaign at Real Madrid.
The 25-year-old will want to play regularly in the upcoming season as well. But Real Madrid will not be able to provide him with that opportunity now that the Belgium international has returned from his injury blow.
Lunin should look to leave the club to play more often, and a move to Liverpool could be an exciting opportunity. The Reds are one of the biggest clubs in the world, and they could provide the 25-year-old with a regular starting spot if Alisson is sold. Other high-profile Premier League clubs are keen on Lunin as well.
Liverpool must do everything to keep Alisson at the club
Liverpool will be hoping to compete for major trophies in the upcoming season, and they must look to hold on to their best players as well. Keeping Alisson at the club should be a top priority for them. He has proven to be an exceptional signing for Liverpool since arriving from AS Roma.
The Brazilian has helped Liverpool win every major trophy, and his performances have proven to be the game changer in crucial moments over the last few years. For his part, Alisson does not want to leave anytime soon, meaning a move for Lunin will unlikely see the light of day unless Liverpool replace Caoimhin Kelleher with the Ukrainian international.
The 25-year-old Real Madrid goalkeeper is entering the peak years of his career, and he will look to play regularly. If Real Madrid cannot provide him with that opportunity, it would be ideal for the two parties to go their separate ways. It will be interesting to see where he ends up eventually.
