Lunin has no chance: Kepa was promised a place in goal

Kepa Arrizabalaga moved to Real Madrid on the firm promise that he would be number one at the club while Thibaut Courtois was being treated. The Athletic made such a sensational statement in its publication.

According to this publication, after Real Madrid’s main goalkeeper was seriously injured in the summer and the long time frame for his recovery became clear, the club began a desperate search for a replacement. Head coach Carlo Ancelotti did not initially believe that it could be Lunin. That’s when they approached Kepa, who didn’t have much prospects at Chelsea. He was promised a place in the squad until Courtois fully recovered.

Lunin learned about all this from the press. Of course, this did not add optimism to him, but he managed to mobilize and began to work with increased intensity. Now he is supported by the team, in addition, the head of the scouting service, Huni Kalafat, is completely on the side of the Ukrainian. However, the most likely option for Lunin’s career development is leaving Real Madrid this coming summer at the end of his contract.
