"Aston Villa are reportedly among the clubs interested in a potential transfer move for Real Madrid goalkeeper Andriy Lunin. The Ukraine international could be on his way out of the Bernabeu in the near future as he's not been playing regularly there due to the presence of Thibaut Courtois as Madrid's number one. Still, Lunin previously impressed for Los Blancos when he had a run in the team to cover for Courtois during an injury."
"It might be a bit of a gamble to move for someone who's mostly had to make do with being a backup, but Villa would do well to think seriously about finding someone to replace Martinez. The Argentine has been a star performer for Unai Emery's side in recent times, but there was uncertainty over his future during the summer."
Andriy Lunin could leave Real Madrid because Thibaut Courtois remains first-choice and Lunin has struggled for regular minutes. Aston Villa have reportedly shown interest, viewing Lunin as a possible replacement for Emiliano Martínez. Real are said to value Lunin at about €25–30m, which would represent a reasonable fee for an underrated goalkeeper with strong performances when given chances. Villa face uncertainty over Martínez's future and a slight dip in his form, prompting them to consider alternatives. Signing Lunin would be a calculated gamble but could provide a quality, affordable option for Unai Emery's squad.
