Real Madrid offered player-swap deal for 26-year-old fringe star – report | OneFootball

With just two weeks remaining before the summer transfer window slams to a shut, one of the players who is still facing an uncertain future at the Santiago Bernabeu is Andriy Lunin.

The Ukrainian international has been a great backup goalkeeper for Real Madrid in recent years, but he is not overtaking Thibaut Courtois to become a primary ‘keeper anytime soon.

Throughout the summer, Lunin has been closely linked with a move away from the Bernabeu, with various clubs in the Premier League interested in his services.

In recent days, though, Fenerbahce have reportedly sounded out a move for the Real Madrid goalkeeper as coach Jose Mourinho looks to shore up his options in between the sticks.

Real Madrid receive swap deal offer for Lunin

According to journalist Samet Cayir, Real Madrid have now received an offer from Fenerbahce for the services of Lunin.

It appears the Turkish giants have proposed a swap deal for Lunin involving their own goalkeeper Dominik Livakovic.

However, Real Madrid are not interested in accepting the proposal as they are not too keen on acquiring the services of Livakovic.

While it is true that Los Blancos would ideally like to secure a replacement for Lunin before offloading him, Livakovic is not someone they are looking for right now.

Fenerbahce, therefore, are currently looking for Plan B in their bid to acquire the services of Lunin this summer.

It will be interesting to see if the Turkish giants can come up with an all-cash offer for the Ukrainian international, who could do well with an opportunity elsewhere.

Apart from Fenerbahce, Lunin, as mentioned earlier, has been linked with a move to other clubs, too, including Manchester United and Newcastle United.
