Andriy Lunin is reportedly close to joining Manchester United after turning down a new contract offer from Real Madrid, according to Spanish reports.
We reported on a story last month that claimed the Red Devils made a sizable offer to entice the La Liga star away from the Los Blancos.
Transfer: Barca is prepared to sell the attacker to Manchester United for £51.2 million.
According to a Spanish source this month, Todo Fichajes, Lunin has declined a new contract offered by Los Blancos and is moving forward to sign with Manchester United.
All that’s left to do is agree on a price with Real Madrid, according to reports that the 20-time English champions have presented the player’s agent with an unbeatable offer.
The 25-year-old is estimated to be worth £30 million (35 million euros), as his current contract at the Bernabeu expires in 2025.
After winning the Golden Glove and recording 17 clean sheets while conceding just 43 goals in the Premier League, United let De Gea leave on a Bosman last summer.
Ten Hag then enticed Andre Onana, who has allowed 51 goals in 34 games this season and has only kept 8 clean sheets in the Premier League.
Man Utd needs to sign a top-notch goalkeeper for the upcoming season because the Cameroonian has shown to be a step in the wrong direction.
Since Courtois, the former goalie for Chelsea, was sidelined, Lunin has performed admirably for Real Madrid.
The Belgian started the La Liga match against Cadiz earlier in the day and was added back to the team for the week’s final match against Bayern Munich.
Lunin ought to depart for consistent first team action, and Manchester United is prepared to give him that opportunity.
