Real Madrid's Goalkeeper, Andriy Lunin Breaks Silence on Future Plans

Lunin's Candid Interview

Real Madrid's Ukrainian goalkeeper, Andriy Lunin, has spoken candidly about his contract situation and future plans in a recent interview. Lunin, who has been linked with a move away from the Santiago Bernabeu, admitted that he wants to play more regularly but acknowledged that he respects Real Madrid's decision.

Current Contract Situation

Lunin's current contract with Real Madrid expires in 2024, but he has found playing time limited due to the presence of veteran goalkeeper, Thibaut Courtois. He has made only 11 appearances for the club since joining in 2018, with most of his game time coming in the Copa del Rey.

Ambitions and Future Plans

Despite his limited playing time, Lunin expressed his commitment to Real Madrid but admitted that he has ambitions to play more regularly. "I want to play, I want to feel important," Lunin said. "But I also understand that Real Madrid is a big club with a lot of competition. I have to be patient and work hard."

"My contract expires in 2024, and I will see what happens then," he continued. "For now, I am focused on working hard and helping Real Madrid achieve our goals."

Praise for Courtois

Lunin had nothing but praise for his teammate and current number one goalkeeper, Thibaut Courtois. "Thibaut is a great goalkeeper, and I have a lot of respect for him," said Lunin. "He is one of the best in the world and has achieved great success with Real Madrid."

Adapting to the Situation

Lunin has found it challenging to adapt to a backup role but has learned from the experience. "It hasn't been easy, but I am trying to make the most of it," he said. "I have learned a lot from Thibaut and the other goalkeepers at Real Madrid."
