Newcastle Targets Real Madrid’s Lunin to Bolster Goalkeeping Amidst Injury Woes”

Sources from Defensa Central  suggest that the 24-year-old shot-stopper is discontent with his playing time at the Spanish club and is actively considering a move.

The motivation behind Newcastle’s interest lies in the unfortunate injury to their regular goalkeeper, Nick Pope, who is expected to be sidelined for a considerable three to four months. In light of this, Eddie Howe’s team sees Lunin as a potential replacement and solution to their goalkeeping concerns.

Lunin himself is said to be enthusiastic about the prospect of playing in the Premier League, eager to prove his mettle after facing limited opportunities with the Spanish giants. Currently, Newcastle is relying on Martin Dubravka in Pope’s absence, and the club is rumored to be planning an active role in the January transfer window to address recent underwhelming results.

The urgency to bolster their goalkeeping department is evident, and Lunin emerges as a suitable candidate for the role. The striker position is also reportedly part of Eddie Howe’s transfer plans.

A potential move for Lunin is seen as mutually beneficial, with Newcastle gaining a talented player, and Lunin securing the opportunities he craves at the highest level. Despite having a contract with Madrid until 2025, there are speculations that the La Liga leaders might consider a sale to avoid losing him on a free transfer.
