Real Madrid’s Backup Goalkeeper Linked to Chelsea
Fabrizio Romano Quashes
In an unexpected development Spanish reporter Alberto Pereiro has hinted that Chelsea is close to getting Andriy Lunin from Real Madrid when the summer transfer window opens. Lunin, a 25-year-old Ukrainian goalie, has been the number two behind Thibaut Courtois at the Santiago Bernabeu, but his strong showings last season have grabbed the attention of many top teams.
Well-known Italian reporter Fabrizio Romano has put a stop to the transfer talk about Lunin. Romano has shot down the stories linking Lunin to Chelsea saying that Real Madrid hasn’t heard from the West London club at all. The only goalie Chelsea is talking about right now is said to be Kepa Arrizabalaga.
It makes sense that Chelsea wants a new goalie, given that their current options, Robert Sanchez and Djordje Petrovic, haven’t been too impressive.

Andriy Lunin’s Rise and Uncertain Future at Real Madrid
Chelsea is currently facing issues with their goalkeepers, including Kepa Arrizabalaga and Robert Sanchez. The club’s interest in Real Madrid’s Andriy Lunin has sparked much discussion, as the Ukrainian goalkeeper is seeking more consistent first-team action. However, with Thibaut Courtois returning to fitness at Real Madrid, it may be difficult for Lunin to secure regular playing time.
Reports suggest that Chelsea is looking to secure Lunin through a potential part-exchange deal involving Kepa or Sanchez. This move could benefit all parties involved, with Lunin receiving more playing time and Chelsea strengthening their goalkeeping position with a promising talent.
Lunin impressed last season with 32 appearances and 12 clean sheets, making him an attractive prospect for Chelsea. Both clubs are closely monitoring the situation, and discussions are ongoing. This transfer saga is one to watch as the summer window progresses.
