Real Madrid are planning some major changes to the squad, with several new signings planned while there are likely to be a number of exits.

Jesus Vallejo, Lucas Vazquez, and Luka Modric are all set to depart imminently while the club could part ways with some more players who are not a part of the plans moving forward.

One such player staring at an uncertain future is backup goalkeeper Andriy Lunin, who could be on the move in search of regular game-time.

Turkish giants Galatasaray, for one, have shown an interest in signing the 26-year-old Ukrainian international this summer.

Lunin not a priority for Galatasaray

However, according to AS, although Lunin was offered to Galatasaray by Jorge Mendes’ agency, he is not at the top of their shortlist.

Instead, Galatasaray’s main targets are two South American goalkeepers: Brazil’s Alisson Becker and Argentina’s Emiliano Martinez.

The Turkish giants are set to say goodbye to veteran shot-stopper Fernando Muslera, who will bring his time at the club to an end this summer.

While Lunin is an option and has been offered to the club by Mendes, the Real Madrid is not considered a priority as things stand.

There are expected to be more suitors for the 26-year-old shot-stopper in the summer, with a move away from the Santiago Bernabeu very likely.

If he ends up leaving, Real Madrid will bring in a new player as replacement to compete with Thibaut Courtois as the starting goalkeeper.
