Manchester United are fronting the transfer market to find a new goalkeeper to fill the gap created by the exit of Andre Onana. The performances of the goalkeeper since signing him up in the summer with Inter Milan and even Altay Bayindir not being a very helpful back-up, the club feels that it would be best to find some outside solutions to fill the gap between the post. According to a Spanish source Defensa Central, Man United have shown interest in signing Andriy Lunin, who plays with Real Madrid, and have already contacted his agent, Jorge Mendes, to take the water temperature.
No Transfer Request From Andriy Lunin, But Door Not Fully Closed
Man United would want to clinch a deal at 13 million but Los Blancos would want at least 21 million considering the Ukrainian has a contract left with them until another five years. Lunin is a happy player at Real Madrid as the second fiddle to Thibaut Courtois and has not requested transfer out of Santiago Bernabeu hence, the Whites have a substantial right to dispose of Lunin. Said that, Red Devils could still strike a deal with the player this summer providing they make a strong offer to the player alongside the willingness to meet the asking price of his side.

Why Andriy Lunin Might Reject Man United Move
Although Man United is reportedly guaranteed of Andriy Lunin as their first-choice goalkeeper, the club will probably not get the Ukrainian player owing to its current problems in various aspects. United concluded their worst-ever league campaign in the Premier League and lost to Tottenham in the Europa League final, which eliminated them out of European football in the 2025/26 season. On the contrary, Lunin now occupies a secure position at Real Madrid, alternating with Thibaut Courtois and performing starring roles in matches in various tournaments.
