Young goalkeeper rejected 3000 offers before choosing Real Madrid

New Real Madrid signing Andriy Lunin claimed he rejected “3,000 offers” before joining the European champions. Madrid announced on Friday evening that they had signed Ukrainian goalkeeper Lunin on a six-year deal from Zorya Luhansk. The 19-year-old had previously been linked with a number of top European clubs including Liverpool.

The teenager is a self-confessed Real Madrid fan and has revealed that he rejected a number of offers in order to seal a dream move to the Bernabeu. Luhansk said: “It was my dream to play at Madrid, I said it publicly in the press of my country, that I’m a Real Madrid fan, I already was before. Everyone knows that we had 3,000 offers but Madrid is my dream, I did not come here for money.”
