Arsenal continues to search for a new goalkeeper despite not having received concrete indications that Aaron Ramsdale will leave.
The Gunners are aware that Ramsdale might want to leave if he does not get the game time he desires, and they are open to his departure. With David Raya now established as their first-choice goalkeeper, Ramsdale faces a decision regarding his future. Additionally, Arsenal is in need of a new third-choice goalkeeper.
Several goalkeepers have been linked with a move to the Emirates, with the latest being Real Madrid’s Andriy Lunin. Lunin, who is currently Real Madrid’s second-choice goalkeeper, enjoyed significant game time during the 2023/2024 season due to an injury to the first-choice keeper. He demonstrated his capabilities and is now seeking a move to a club where he can secure more regular playing time.
Lunin’s contract with Real Madrid expires in 2025, but the club has offered him an extension until 2029, which he has yet to sign. This situation has piqued the interest of several suitors, and according to a report in The Sun, Lunin is now on Arsenal’s radar.
Just Arsenal Opinion
Lunin has been a fantastic goalkeeper for Madrid, but he would not want to be a second or third-choice for us in London.

The JustArsenal’s opinion in regard to goalkeeper Lunin signing for Arsenal this summer window has said it all, so, I don’t need to further expatiate on the subject matter anymore.
But one thing that I will like us Arsenal to seriously take note of it, is that, Arsenal not winning the 2022-2023 Premier League title was not down to Aaron Ramsdale goalkeeping fault by him for Arsenal.
But rather, Arsenal’s failure to win the league title when they were looking poised to win it that season. Was attributed to had been down to William Saliba and Takehiro Tomiyansu getting seriously injured for Arsenal. In the Gunners defence. When the pair seriously got injured. In the same night at the Emirates. In a tough Europe League Cup match.
The injuries by the duo Arsenal’s defenders later turned out to negatively impacted on the Arsenal’s season run-in Epl title win charge that season. Which saw the Gunners finished 2nd in the final table as runners up to the winners the Citizens team with 5 points behind them on the final day of the season campaign.
Why should Lunin be second choice to Raya? I think he is a better keeper. We need a goal keeper who can win us games.
His contract is up in 2025 so unless he commits to a new deal he will leave. He will not stay to play 3rd fiddle to Courtois and Kepa (well I think Kepa will return to Chelsea).
Point is, rather than trusting Lunin, Real went out to loan Kepa instead of giving the Ukrainian a chance. I’m sure this is still on his mind.
this would be even more astonishing than bringing Raya in the first place – I can’t see how this could feasibly work for player or club????
JA would explode if was Arsenal’s first piece of transfer business this window!
Every year it is just changing the goalkeeper, I think Arsenal coaches have no idea about how to pick and coach goalkeepers. instead of changing goalkeepers they should fire current Goalkeeper coach and find a new coach. Every time their judgement is wrong or not fruitful as what they invest. Started with very poor buy who was worst than our academy keepers. Then Leno over Martinezz, Then buying Ramsdale and discarding him for Raya, now someone new, releasing academy keepers for free.
