Lunin was also recently linked with a move to Chelsea in a potential swap deal involving Kepa Arrizabalaga who is currently on loan at Madrid. Madrid signed Arrizabalaga on loan in the summer after an ACL injury in training left number one Thibaut Courtois side-lined.
Lunin has only started two games in La Liga this season, despite Courtois’ injury. This lack of game time has left the goalkeeper frustrated and has further fuelled speculation about his potential departure from Madrid in the near future, with Celtic rumoured to be considering a bid.
The first linked Celtic to a move for Lunin last month, with the Ukrainian international being part of a group of goalkeepers under consideration for the role of Celtic’s number one next season, with Joe Hart’s contract expiring next summer.
