With the season now over, attention is turning to the upcoming summer transfer window, where Real Madrid appears poised to be one of the most prominent contenders. This follows a difficult season during which the team suffered significant injuries that severely hampered its progress. Real Madrid ended the season empty-handed, having failed to win La Liga or the Copa del Rey and being eliminated in the Champions League quarterfinals by Arsenal.
The club is now expected to make strategic moves in the transfer market to strengthen the squad. According to reports from *Defensa Central*, Paris Saint-Germain has shifted its focus to Real Madrid, expressing serious interest in signing Ukrainian goalkeeper Andriy Lunin. This development comes amid growing speculation that Gianluigi Donnarumma may depart the Parc des Princes.
Luis Enrique is reportedly driving this pursuit, as he sees Lunin as a strong replacement. The Ukrainian goalkeeper has proven his worth in key matches, despite playing second fiddle to Thibaut Courtois, widely regarded as one of the best in the world. However, Real Madrid’s management is reluctant to negotiate with PSG, especially given the strained relations between the two clubs after the Kylian Mbappé saga. Lunin is highly valued within the club for his professionalism and clutch performances, such as his decisive penalty save against Manchester City.
Lunin recently extended his contract with Real Madrid until 2030, surprising those who expected him to seek more playing time elsewhere. His decision reflects his belief in eventually securing a starting role, even with Courtois currently ahead of him. Courtois’s contract runs until 2026, and at 32, his long-term future remains uncertain. Several clubs, including those in the Saudi Pro League, are reportedly monitoring his situation, which could open the door for Lunin in the near future. As the transfer window approaches, all eyes will be on whether PSG can persuade Real Madrid to part ways with Lunin or if the Ukrainian will continue to wait for his moment at the Santiago Bernabéu.
