Interest in Andriy Lunin, the Ukrainian backup goalkeeper for Real Madrid, has intensified during the 2026 winter transfer window, with Premier League clubs entering the competition. Tottenham Hotspur, Nottingham Forest, and Brighton stand out as the leading candidates to sign the 26-year-old goalkeeper.

The website "Fichajes" mentioned that Lunin is seeking more playing time and a guaranteed starting position, after spending most of his career in the shadow of Thibaut Courtois and going through several loan spells. His contract with Real Madrid continues until 2030, making his departure an administrative challenge. However, the urgent need of English clubs to strengthen their goalkeeping has prompted the start of preliminary negotiations. The Royal Club has valued the goalkeeper at 25 million euros, an amount that reflects his abilities and experience in major matches.

Tottenham, Nottingham Forest, and Brighton have shown interest following Lunin's limited appearances this season in La Liga, despite having played 64 official matches for the team, most of which were in secondary competitions or as a substitute for Courtois.

Tottenham aims to find a reliable long-term replacement who can compete with Vicario, while Nottingham Forest seeks to strengthen its project in the top division. Meanwhile, Brighton is focused on signing a young goalkeeper with high development potential and strong foot skills.

The move to England represents an opportunity for Lunin to prove his ability to be the first-choice goalkeeper in an ambitious offensive and defensive project, and to gain regular playing time. The three clubs are expected to compete strongly in the coming weeks to convince the player, with the final decision depending on meeting the financial demands of the Royal Club.

The report confirmed that this deal could represent an important step in organizing the goalkeeper position in European football and open a new chapter in Lunin's professional career.
