UCL semifinal hero and Real Madrid goalkeeper Andriy Lunin could join Chelsea!

Andriy Lunin could join Chelsea. Given the uncertainty of his future in Real Madrid, the Ukrainian could make a move. Along with Chelsea, Arsenal seemed to be in a bid to acquire Lunin. But the latest reports have claimed that Chelsea has nearly confirmed the deal with Madrid. The fans of the English Football club are overjoyed to hear the news.

They currently have five goalkeepers in their squad. However, Andriy Lunin is better than all of them. The Spanish club already has a good goalkeeper and will only get a better one with the potential return of Thibaut Courtois from the injury. Lunin had a good season as a keeper in 2023/24. He helped Real Madrid to win the UCL and La Liga.

The 25-year-old played 32 matches in the season and made some great saves. He had 12 clean sheets and conceded just 32 goals. These are good stats for a keeper. The Ukrainian conceded an average of just a goal per game. In the absence of Thibaut Courtois, he really stepped up and performed when it mattered the most. There could be a case for Madrid trading Kepa with Lunin, a discussion that could potentially take place.

Clubs that were interested in Andriy Lunin

Lunin was one of the goalkeepers who was in huge demand. The star keeper was consulted by many teams to have a feel. Real Madrid was flooded with proposals from the clubs like Chelsea, Manchester City, Arsenal, and Liverpool. But it looks like the Spanish club finally came to terms with Chelsea. It could turn out to be a good deal for Chelsea.

2021/22 was the last great year for the club. They won the UEFA Champions League, the UEFA Super Cup, and the FIFA Club World Cup in the season. Since then, the English club has been struggling to win any cup. Thomas Tuchel was the last manager to have won Chelsea a trophy. The fans are hoping Andriy to bring luck with him.
