Andriy Lunin has revealed his future plans in an interview with El Chiringuito de Mega. The 24-year-old Ukrainian goalkeeper ends his contract with the white club in June 2025 and for now it seems that he has lost Kepa Arrizabalaga the breed for the purpose of ownership of real Madrid.
Lunin signed for meringues in the summer of 2018, from Zorya Luhansk of his country. Without a place in the white first team, the Ukrainian was loaned to teams such as Leganés, Valladolid and Oviedo. This season, along with the long-term injury of Thibaut Courtois, things have changed. “I’m probably going through the best moment of my sports career,” he said.
“I don’t know if I notice the confidence of the coach, but I know that they allow me to play a little more than I used to play, and that’s good. I am very grateful and I am also trying to thank him for my performance on the field. What is the most complicated? Don’t play, it’s that easy. The most complicated thing is not playing,” he repeated.
Lunin made it clear that he has decided that he wants to continue at Real Madrid. “I want to stay. I have a contract until 2025 and my idea is to continue with it. Playing at the Bernabéu is something incredible. Especially when they say your name. For me, coming from a town of 30,000 inhabitants, this is something very special. “I never thought that something like this could happen and it’s something from another world,” he highlighted.
The Ukrainian goalkeeper is not fully aware of the debate that has been generated in the goal, after the signing of Kepa last summer. “I don’t follow what is said in press conferences or read newspapers. Otherwise, it will drive you crazy. I focus on training and my work. When Courtois was injured, no one needed to tell me that the club would sign a goalkeeper. I understand that situation. This is reasonable. This is not a surprise. “I already compete with Thibaut… The competition is not unusual,” he added.
Finally, Lunin reveals who he can count on in difficult times. “To my family, to my wife, to my son… When I’m with him I forget everything.” This Saturday he will continue to cover the merengue goal in the crucial match against Girona within Bernabeuwhere the leadership of LaLiga EA Sports.
