Matteo Moretto gives Football España exclusive information on the latest deals dominating the papers in Spain, as revealed in Fabrizio Romano’s Daily Briefing.
Real Madrid not giving up on Andriy Lunin contract renewal
Now it is difficult for Andriy Lunin to leave Real Madrid, with just five days remaining in the transfer window. But when it comes to the question of his contract renewal, and indeed his future, remains unclear.
Initially, in April, Lunin had agreed to a contract extension. Then at the end of the season, when Thibaut Courtois returned to fitness, some situations changed and the renewal was put on hold. I think that in the coming months Real Madrid will try to reach an agreement with his agent Jorge Mendes to advance with the renewal, but it is still too early to know if an agreement will finally be reached.
One thing is clear, with his contract expiring next summer, Real Madrid will do everything possible not to lose him for nothing.
Barcelona exits not necessarily done yet but key issue to dominate final week
Barcelona have sealed the exits of Clement Lenglet on loan to Atletico Madrid, Mikayil Faye moving to Rennes, and Vitor Roque’s loan to Real Betis, but we cannot shut the door definitively when it comes to more outgoings. One of the remaining possible departures is Eric Garcia, whose situation is not 100% clear, with Girona still interested in him.
Let’s see what happens in the final stages of the transfer window. Currently, Barcelona are fully focused on registering Dani Olmo. When it comes to any potential additions, and we discussed Federico Chiesa and Marc Pubill two days ago, if they do not solve Olmo’s registration, there will not be any advances on other players.
Atletico Madrid starlet looking to exit before the end of the transfer window
Belgian midfielder Arthur Vermeeren wants to leave Atletico Madrid because he is not playing and does not fit into Diego Simeone’s plans. He has tried, doing everything he can to impress Simeone, but they are not on the same wavelength.
Vermeeren has already chosen to go to RB Leipzig and now the two clubs are negotiating the appropriate formula for the operation. It is possible that it is a transfer with a mandatory purchase option rather than just a loan, but the deal is currently developing.
