# Virals: Liverpool ‘in talks’ to sign Real Madrid ace Andriy Lunin

[Liverpool](https://readliverpoolfc.com/2022/01/21/virals-liverpool-keeping-a-close-eye-on-fulham-starlet-fabio-carvalho/) are reportedly ‘in talks’ to sign Real Madrid goalkeeper Andriy Lunin.

The Reds were [linked with a move](https://twitter.com/DaveOCKOP/status/993403818808369152) for the 22-year-old back in 2018 when the stopper was still a Zorya Lugansk player.

Since then the Ukraine international has joined Los Blancos and spent [three separate season-long loan spells](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/andriy-lunin/transfers/spieler/404839) away from Madrid.

According to a report from [El Nacional](https://www.elnacional.cat/ca/esports/20-milions-i-si-klopp-vol-florentino-perez-tanca-l-operacio-amb-el-liverpool_698415_102.html), Liverpool are keen on bringing Lunin to Anfield once again.

The report claims that the Reds have ‘set their sights’ on the [six-cap](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/andriy-lunin/nationalmannschaft/spieler/404839/verein_id/3699) ace and are ‘seriously interested’ in making the deal happen.

This season the Ukrainian stopper has been installed as number two to Thibaut Courtois and has also made [two appearances](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/andriy-lunin/leistungsdaten/spieler/404839) in the Copa Del Rey.

### READ LIVERPOOL VERDICT

Valued at £1.8million and under contract in Madrid until 2024 ([Transfermarkt](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/andriy-lunin/marktwertverlauf/spieler/404839)), signing Lunin would certainly be an affordable mission.

However, with yet [more faith placed in Caoimhín Kelleher](https://www.theguardian.com/football/2022/jan/21/klopp-confirms-liverpools-caoimhin-kelleher-will-start-carabao-cup-final) in recent weeks and looking ahead, it seems highly unlikely Jurgen Klopp would be looking to oust the 23-year-old as understudy to Alisson.

Despite the previous interest and [impressive loan moves](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/andriy-lunin/leistungsdatendetails/spieler/404839) at Leganés, Real Valladolid and Real Oviedo, this doesn’t feel like a deal Liverpool will actively pursue.
