Andriy Lunin has reportedly shared a clear decision with his agent, Jorge Mendes. The Ukrainian star wants to remain at the Spanish club this summer, despite having limited opportunities on the field recently. This choice puts a halt to any potential moves away from the Bernabéu for now.
Lunin aims to continue competing for his spot in the team. He hopes to prove he deserves more playing time under manager Xabi Alonso. The goalkeeping situation at Real Madrid is very stable. Thibaut Courtois is the undisputed first choice and consistently performs exceptionally well.

However, Lunin has proven himself whenever Courtois has been unavailable. He has made important saves and helped the team through tough games. At 26, Lunin sees a chance to learn from the 33-year-old Courtois, preparing to potentially become the main keeper later. Courtois is close to extending his contract, but Lunin’s readiness adds depth for the future.
Real Oviedo, a newly promoted La Liga side returning after 24 years, reportedly sees Lunin as an ideal signing. However, given Lunin’s strong desire to stay with Real Madrid, a move to Oviedo seems very unlikely. According to Real Madrid Confidencial, the player valued at €18m is committed to Los Blancos and hopes his regular chance arrives eventually.
