Lunin got stuck in Real's 'trap' due to a new contract.
Andriy Lunin is facing problems again at Real. With the arrival of Xabi Alonso as the head coach, the Ukrainian lost his spot as a key player. The new coach preferred Thibaut Courtois, who remains the first-choice goalkeeper, reports Marca.
Courtois does not plan to leave the club, while Lunin signed a long-term contract with the 'blancos'. This change in the coaching staff has put the Ukrainian in a difficult position, making it hard for him to compete for a starting spot.
What lies ahead for Lunin
Currently, there are no known options for the Ukrainian goalkeeper's transfer. However, each day without a decision only complicates his situation. Lunin risks spending the season on the bench if he does not find a new club or does not go on loan by the end of August. This could seriously affect his form and chances of a spot in the starting lineup of the Ukrainian national team.
Ukrainian goalkeeper Andriy Lunin finds himself in a difficult situation at Madrid's 'Real', where his future is currently hard to predict. This could impact not only his career but also the possibility of being called up to the national team.
