The search for a new Newcastle United goalkeeper hits a stumbling block after a 3 million euro loan offer to Real Madrid shotstopper Andrie Lunin was quickly turned down by the Spanish club.
Sources close to the agent industry have notified us CatedOffisde That La Liga Giants is not going to allow Ukraine International to leave this summer, particularly under the proposed conditions.
Magpies are actively trying to strengthen their goalkeeping options ahead of the new season, with Luin appearing as a target due to his growing reputation and sharp performance when asked to represent Thibaut Kurdva.
However, Real Madrid’s response is clear, with the 26-year-old not currently receiving sales or loans.
Newcastle United’s offer was rejected by Real Madrid
From both a sport and structural perspective, the Los Blancos consider Luin a integral part of the goalkeeping division, despite appearing only 14 times for them last season.
The Ukrainian goalkeeper recently extended his contract with the club until 2030, further signaling Real Madrid’s intentions to secure a future at the Santiago Bernabeu.
Despite being a second choice, Luin is said to be satisfied with his role in Madrid, assessing the club’s projects and showing patience as he continues to develop under the guidance of the world’s top coaching teams.
His commitment and professionalism are not noticed internally or across Europe.
Man United continues to monitor Andry Luin
Manchester United also maintains a close tab on the situation in Lunin. The Red Devils are in the goalkeeper market and have added Luin to their potential target finalists list, but they are well aware of the relevant financial challenges.
The evaluation of Real Madrid players is expected to be important, with United carefully approaching the situation by monitoring developments in the event of an opportunity.
As it stands, both Newcastle and Man United may need to be prepared to see elsewhere or make a very attractive offer to seduce Real Madrid into negotiations.
