Real Madrid in a dilemma over the future of 27-year-old fringe star
Andriy Lunin has been a handy backup to Thibaut Courtois for Real Madridâs management in recent years, especially given how the Belgian is occasionally ruled out with fitness blows.
Just when it seemed set that he would leave the club in 2023, he stepped up under pressure and stuck by his contract to even earn a renewal until 2030.
As the summer transfer window nears, there is again doubt growing on what the club should do in his case and the administration find themselves in a dilemma.
Stuck on crossroads
As reported by AS in a recent report, Luninâs performances this season since Courtoisâ injury are once again paving the way for doubts to creep in about his future.
In his 11 games this season, the Ukrainian international has conceded 21 goals and averages a goal conceded every 45 minutes.
While a big part of that can be attributed to the teamâs defensive struggles, Courtois averages one goal conceded in every 93 minutes and is significantly ahead in that statistic, raising doubts about whether Luninâs numbers are good enough.
