During the majority of the 2023–24 season, Ukraine international Lunin was Real Madrid’s starting goalkeeper. However, once Thibaut Courtois returned from injury, Lunin was replaced on the bench for the Champions League final triumph against Borussia Dortmund. At that time, Lunin was Real Madrid’s starting goalkeeper.

There was a widespread belief that Lunin was on the verge of signing a long-term contract in the Spanish capital. However, because Los Blancos are unable to provide him with any assurances regarding his participation in first-team football, a transfer is being considered.

In the event that Real decides to let Lunin leave, they will bring in a replacement, and Kepa is their first pick to fill the job of Courtois’ understudy after he spent the previous season on loan.Despite the fact that Kepa joined Real on loan after Courtois sustained an injury, Lunin was the one who established himself as Carlo Ancelotti’s most trusted player during the Belgian’s absence.

It has been reported by AS that Chelsea has been contemplating a bid for Lunin for a number of weeks, but they are not prepared to pay Real’s asking price of thirty million euros.

One of the alternatives that is now being discussed is a trade deal that would involve Lunin moving to west London and Kepa going back to Spain on a permanent basis.

Considering Lunin’s value as a result of his outstanding performance in goal during the previous season, Real is also seeking to receive a fee as part of the transfer. The two parties are still in negotiations on that amount, according to the newspaper.According to reports, Kepa is adamant about returning to Madrid, even if it means he will have to accept a wage reduction in order to do so.

In the summer of 2017, Chelsea made two acquisitions in the goalkeeper position: Robert Sanchez and Djordje Petrovic. The Serbian goalkeeper eventually became Mauricio Pochettino’s first choice in goal during the middle of the previous season.

It is possible that the Serbian international may be sold this summer; nevertheless, there are worries regarding whether or not he is suitable for the playing style of Enzo Maresca.

Because of a very minor injury, Petrovic was not included in the Chelsea team that went on their pre-season trip to the United States of America from England.

According to reports, the Blues have launched a proposal of £17 million to acquire Filip Jorgenson from Villarreal. Jorgenson, who is 22 years old, is interested in making the transfer to Stamford Bridge.
