Real Madrid doors are now closed for Andriy Lunin? Perez comes up with shocker statement

Real Madrid Football Club president Florentino Perez has made a huge statement that has shocked many fans. The statement comes after it came to light that Andriy Lunin is on the verge of completing a move to England with Chelsea as the prime target. 

Leading Spanish outlet MARCA carried a quote which read “when you doubt being at Real Madrid. The Exit door is open”. It is a huge statement considering that Andriy Lunin played a key role in the UEFA Champions League final versus Borussia Dortmund.

Andriy Lunin who just has one year left on his deal is set to move away due to Real Madrid manager. It is said that Carlo Ancelotti will be more than happy to let Andriy Lunin go and explore other options. Carlo Ancelotti wants to build on the experience of the last season with the addition of Kylian Mbappe and Endrick to his team. 

Spanish star lined up as potential replacement

In the case of Andriy Lunin leaving Real Madrid, the Los Blancos will look to sign Kepa Arrizabalaga from Chelsea. The young Spanish star hasn’t really fulfilled his potential at Stamford Bridge and was at Real Madrid last season on a loan deal. 

Andriy Lunin meanwhile had last week said to MARCA “The only thing I can say is that everything was going the right way about me staying and now the ball is on Real Madrid’s court. That’s all I can say about my future. It’s all in their hands now." Real Madrid will look to sell Lunin rather than lose him for free next season. 

French star Kylian Mbappe who has just become a player of Real Madrid heaped praise on Florentino Perez. Speaking to the Club’s official TV Channel. Mbappe said “He’s a hugely important person to me; he’s had faith in me from day one and he’s always helped me and my family. That will remain in my heart. I will do everything I can, both on the pitch and off it, to make him happy. For me, he’s the best president in the world,” 

“This is a dream come true. It’s such a privilege to form part of the Real Madrid family. This is one of the greatest days of my life. I have dreamed of this for so many years, and now it’s a reality, I am a Real Madrid player. I’m so happy and grateful for the love shown to me by all the madridistas” Mbappe added 

The French striker ended by saying “It means so much to me. Many years ago, ever since I was a little kid, I’ve dreamed of playing for Madrid. Then it became a goal of mine because once I became a professional player, it was always my objective to end up here. Now I have another dream: to live up to the history of this club; the best club in the world. I want to give my all for these colours and for this crest,”
