Inter Milan eye summer move for 27-year-old fringe Real Madrid star – report
The summer transfer window could be a busy one for Real Madrid, with some important incomings and outgoings expected.
As already reported, the Spanish capital are considering the sale of Eduardo Camavinga, no longer seen as non-transferable.
So, it goes without saying that some of the other fringe players from the squad could also be allowed to leave for the right offers.
Inter Milan want Andriy Lunin
In that regard, Andriy Lunin, the second-choice Real Madrid goalkeeper, has emerged as a transfer target for Inter Milan, according to AS.
Lunin has now been on Real Madrid’s books for almost eight years now, the first two of which he spent away on loan.
However, throughout this stint, he has been an understudy to Thibaut Courtois and has only managed 65 appearances for the Spanish capital club.
Despite the lack of opportunities coming his way, and having had proposals to leave, Lunin has opted to stay put at the Santiago Bernabeu.
But Inter Milan now have him on their radars for the summer as they seek reinforcements in the goalkeeping department.
As per the report, Tottenham Hotspur’s Guglielmo Vicario as their No. 1 target, but if a move for him falls through, the Nerazzurri intend to move for Lunin.
The 27-year-old Ukrainian international is contracted with Real Madrid until the summer of 2030. And, as mentioned previously, he has been reluctant to leave in the past. Whether that changes in the upcoming transfer window remains to be seen.

Chelsea, Liverpool ready to move for Real Madrid midfield target in January – report
Real Madrid are keeping a close eye on Alex Scott’s situation. The AFC Bournemouth midfielder has been impressing in the Premier League and recently made his debut for the England national team.
Given their need for a midfield reinforcement, Real Madrid are tracking the youngster as the Spanish giants believe he could provide a different profile to complement their existing options.
Chelsea, Liverpool ready to move in January
According to TEAMtalk (h/t Bernabeu Digital), Real Madrid intend to continue monitoring Scott throughout the season before deciding whether to make a move in next summer’s transfer window.
However, they could face competition from the Premier League, with Liverpool and Chelsea also tracking the 23-year-old.
Both Premier League clubs are preparing substantial offers for Scott ahead of the January transfer window.
Bournemouth have placed an €80 million valuation on the midfielder, although the club have no intention of selling him in January and would prefer to consider a departure next summer.
The Cherries are already looking at potential replacements and have identified Fer Lopez as a long-term successor.
Real Madrid prepared to wait until the summer
Real Madrid are already planning their recruitment strategy for next summer, monitoring several players before deciding which targets to pursue when the transfer window opens.
For now, the Merengues are not expected to make a move for Scott in January. Instead, they intend to continue assessing his performances and availability over the coming months.
If the Bournemouth midfielder becomes available from June onwards, the Spanish capital giants will then decide whether to make a formal approach.
Their preference to wait could leave the door open for Liverpool and Chelsea to move first, particularly if either club are prepared to meet Bournemouth’s valuation during the winter window.
In the meantime, Jose Mourinho & co. are also keeping an eye on other options to strengthen their midfield. In fact, recent reports suggest that an enquiry has been made for Napoli star Scott McTominay.
The Scotsman contract with the Serie A side expires in 2028 and with his club not offering a renewal so far, he could emerge as a serious option.
