One of the key topics of conversation at Real Madrid leading up to the summer transfer window is Andriy Lunin’s future. The Ukrainian international is now a hot topic in the transfer market after an incredible year, with numerous elite European teams vying for his services.
In regards to his future plans, Lunin has kept silent. He could, however, decide to quit Real Madrid, particularly because Thibaut Courtois is expected to be given back his starting position. Discussing whether Real Madrid will keep Kepa Arrizabalaga on staff once his loan expires at the end of the month has arisen due to the potential of Lunin leaving.

Significantly, it seems Real Madrid is finally thinking about keeping Kepa on staff in the event that Lunin decides to quit the team. According to Sergio Gomez (via Madrid Zone), Real Madrid values Kepa highly and would consider keeping him on loan for an extra season.
The team places a great value on the goalie’s professionalism and influence in the locker room. Real Madrid finds the Spaniard attractive because he embraces his job as Courtois’ backup. For this reason, Los Blancos believe it will be wiser to hold onto Kepa rather than take a chance on a move. After all, it can take some time for a new goalkeeper to adjust to Real Madrid’s high standards.
