Pep Guardiola has been keeping an eye on a player from Real Madrid. But this time, it’s not about Rodrygo. Manchester City is planning a squad overhaul after the season and is looking for reinforcements.
Reports indicate that Andrij Lunin has become the latest target for the Catalan coach. The Ukrainian goalkeeper might be part of the team’s restructuring at Etihad Stadium. With Ederson’s future at the club being uncertain and Stefan Ortega not meeting expectations, Manchester City is considering an offer worth 30 million euros.
Lunin dreams of regular playtime, and if he doesn’t get that opportunity in Madrid, he doesn’t rule out a move. The Royal club’s management isn’t closing the door to a potential transfer. The Ukrainian shot-stopper was crucial in securing a double last season.
Meanwhile, Real Madrid has its eyes on Joan Garcia, the goalkeeper of Espanyol, who has a clause of 30 million euros. The 23-year-old Spanish goalkeeper could eventually become the successor to the 32-year-old Thibaut Courtois.
The upcoming months will be decisive. It all depends on whether Guardiola can convince Lunin to transfer or if the Ukrainian decides to fight for his place in the Real Madrid squad. His performances in the Copa del Rey show that he still has the potential to be a key player in the team. Nevertheless, if Real Madrid finds a suitable successor, the goalkeeper’s departure might become a reality, which could benefit both parties with the transfer.
