Andriy Lunin puts Celtic on transfer alert as keeper gives Real Madrid clear message over contract 'offer'

Andriy Lunin will reportedly turn down any new contract offer from Real Madrid with the goalkeeper on Celtic's radar this summer.

Record Sport understands the Ukraine international is being tracked by the Hoops as they weigh up the options in the market that can provide competition for Joe Hart in the number one spot - with Scott Bain and Benjamin Siegrist failing to catch Brendan Rodgers eye so far. It is understood Celtic held an interest 24-year-old in the summer window but Real were reluctant to allow the shot-stopper with Thibaut Courtois sidelined through injury.

But Chelsea loanee Kepa has emerged as the first-choice at the Bernabeu this term leaving Lunin frozen out with his contract set to expire at the end of the current campaign. The back-up stopper - who has previously been loaned to Real Valladolid and Oviedo - has already publicly stated his is looking to increase his game time and could be open to leaving amid interest from the Scottish Premiership.

But Todo Fichajes claim Lunin "is tired of not having minutes and being Courtois' substitute" and was already on the verge of leaving last summer. They claim that the goalkeeper is expected to say no should Real put a contract offer on the table.
