- Mourinho targets ريال مدريد keeper Lunin
- فنربخشة seek a replacement for Livakovic
- غلطة سراي also circling but have other priorities
وفق مثل Mourinho has set his sights on Lunin as his current keeper, Dominik Livakovic, has failed to settle in Istanbul. The Croatian has grown unhappy with his situation, while the club itself has become equally unimpressed with his performances. The breakdown in the relationship appears irreversible, with both parties keen to fast-track an exit before the transfer window slams shut. Mourinho, never one to waste an opportunity, has identified Lunin as the perfect replacement, an ambitious move that could transform Fenerbahce’s fortunes between the posts.
Fenerbahce have already sent a formal letter of interest to Real Madrid, asking for clarity on the terms of Lunin’s contract and gauging how realistic a deal could be. With just days left before Europe’s transfer market closes, Mourinho is desperate to test Los Blancos’ resolve.
Fenerbahce aren’t the only Istanbul heavyweight circling, as Galatasaray are also monitoring Lunin’s situation. Their primary objective remains to secure a long-term successor to Fernando Muslera, who has been the club’s undisputed number one for over 14 years. They are currently negotiating with big names such as إيدرسون, Yann Sommer, and Justin Lammers, but Lunin remains a backup option if those deals collapse.
Real Madrid recognise Lunin’s reliability and view him as crucial insurance in case Courtois suffers another injury setback. Allowing him to go would leave them scrambling late in the window to secure an adequate replacement, a scenario they will be keen to avoid.
