WHAT HAPPENED?
Lunin signed for Jorge Mendes' agency, Polaris Sport, in April, and the agent hasn't wasted much time trying to find the goalkeeper a new club. According to journalist Romain Molina, Mendes is trying to persuade the 25-year-old to leave Madrid this summer, which will catch the eye of several high profile clubs.
Mendes' relationship with Real Madrid soured over Leny Yoro's move to Manchester United, and this latest development is unlikely to help repair things. The Spanish champions are reportedly upset that the Portuguese agent directed Yoro's move to Old Trafford over the Santiago Bernabeu.
