The victory in the European Super Cup final against Atalanta provides crucial insights for the Santiago Bernabéu dressing room, which will influence the final composition of Carlo Ancelotti’s squad as the transfer window closes. While Florentino Pérez and the executives currently have no plans for additional signings, Real Madrid’s exit door remains open, potentially leading to new moves.
According to Spanish newspaper Defensa Central, Real Madrid is expected to make a decisive decision about Ukrainian goalkeeper Andriy Lunin’s future following the Super Cup final.
Carlo Ancelotti relies on Thibaut Courtois to guard Real Madrid’s goal, which complicates Andriy Lunin’s chances of returning to the starting lineup. This situation could push Lunin away from the club, as Jorge Mendes continues to search for a new team for him without success. Courtois’ impressive
performance in the European Super Cup has led Lunin to reassess his future with Real Madrid, as his expectations do not align with the current sporting reality at the club.
Lunin aspires to be the starter after the King’s Cup, but this seems unlikely given Thibaut Courtois is firmly established as the first-choice goalkeeper. Courtois has returned from injury in top form, effectively eliminating any potential competition for the starting spot in the Merengue goal.The recent European Super Cup victory against Atalanta has provided key insights into Real Madrid’s squad, particularly regarding the goalkeeper situation. Thibaut Courtois’ outstanding performance has solidified his position as the first-choice goalkeeper under Carlo Ancelotti, which puts Andriy Lunin’s future at the club in doubt.
Lunin, who has ambitions of becoming the starting goalkeeper, now faces the reality that Courtois’ form makes it highly unlikely for him to secure the starting spot. Despite Jorge Mendes’ efforts to find Lunin a new club, no successful move has been made so far.
The club, led by Florentino Pérez, appears to have no immediate plans for further signings, but the exit door remains open for Lunin. The outcome of the Super Cup and Courtois’ dominance could prompt Real Madrid to make a final decision on Lunin’s future before the transfer window closes. If Lunin seeks more playing time, a transfer might be his best option, especially given Courtois’ firm hold on the starting position.
