The Ukrainian goalkeeper had an encounter with Ronaldo's former agent

The Ukrainian goalkeeper, Andriy Lunin, who performs for Real Madrid, has recently met with the renowned football agent, Jorge Mendes, as reported by El Chiringuito TV.

According to sources, the meeting took place on Wednesday, November 22, in the VIP lounge of Madrid's airport. This occurrence draws parallels with the situation involving former Real Madrid player Marco Asensio, who became a Mendes client before departing the royal club for PSG.

Currently, Oleksiy Lunin, the father of the 24-year-old Ukrainian, remains his agent, with their contractual collaboration set to expire in the summer of 2024. Jorge Mendes, previously the agent for the star Portuguese forward Cristiano Ronaldo, concluded their partnership in 2022 ahead of Ronaldo's transfer to Saudi Arabian club Al-Nassr.

At present, the 57-year-old Portuguese agent represents the interests of players such as Rúben Dias, Bernardo Silva, Darwin Núñez, João Félix, João Cancelo, and others.

Ahead of the 2020/21 season, it was announced that the Ukrainian goalkeeper would continue with Real Madrid. Starting from that season, he assumed the number 13 jersey in the team, previously worn by Thibaut Courtois, and became the second-choice goalkeeper, consistently included in the squad for nearly every match.

The contract for the Ukrainian goalkeeper is valid until the summer of 2024. Earlier reports suggested uncertainty about Lunin's future at Real Madrid. With the royal club, Andriy Lunin secured a UEFA Champions League victory and became the UEFA Super Cup champion.
