Despite the contract extension, Lunin could still leave Real Madrid next summer

This week, Real Madrid finally extended the contract of goalkeeper Andriy Lunin, tying him to the club for the next six years. However, it remains uncertain whether the 25-year-old Ukrainian will stay at the club for the long term.

Details: Lunin's contract was set to expire next summer, and he was nearing the possibility of moving to another club as a free agent. Now, he will continue to compete for a spot in the lineup with Thibaut Courtois. Football Espana reports that if Lunin receives an offer that is significant in terms of size or status, Real Madrid may consider selling him. If Lunin requests the club to consider such an offer, they will take his wishes into account.

Additional: Although this issue may resurface next summer, the situation for Real Madrid has improved significantly. The club is no longer at risk of losing Lunin for free and now either has a reliable backup for Courtois or can expect a reasonable transfer fee that could be reinvested at their discretion.
