[Music] [Applause] madridista fans this one is going to surprise a lot of people Lunen our backup goalkeeper almost benched ctoas that's right after a Crazy Summer with multiple offers for him to leave the club the guy decided to stay and not only did he stay but he also renewed his contract with Real Madrid until 20128 who would have thought huh now I know what you're thinking but he's not going to be the starter unless courtois gets injured again and it's true the competition is tough with the Belgian around but look Lunen is showing that he's ready to fight for that spot what's even more surprising is that just over a month ago he was almost out of Madrid his contract was ending in 2025 and the club had to decide either renew or sell him to avoid losing him for free there was a good offer on the table but the goalkeeper didn't just want numbers he wanted to play as time went on it seemed like he was really going to leave time was running out and they even thought he might leave for free but then out of nowhere the story took a Twist September came and Lunen decided to stay and more than that he now feels strong enough to compete with ctoa for the starting spot without hesitation he signed of course he knows he's not going to be the team's main man just yet if he wants to play he's going to have to fight especially with Kea also in the squad who came to be the starter while coris recovers but the scenario has completely changed before leaving was an easy option for him but now any negotiation will have to go through sham Martin his exit is no longer just up to him Real Madrid also has its say the most interesting part was Luna's internal battle the pressure was huge with his family and Entourage pushing him to leave but his mind wanted to stay and he won that battle even with Kea on the squad Lunen decided he's going to keep fighting for his spot and that's it madridistas it seems the confidence in the kid is back even though it's been an emotional roller coaster now he's ours until 2028 and who knows what the future holds let's see how this competition for the goalkeeper position plays out because with ctoas Kea and Lunen the fight promises to be intense so what do you think does Lunen have a chance to the starting spot or is courtois really Untouchable we all know that Lunen has been on the market twice right it looked like his fate was far from Madrid but hold on the guy signed until 2028 so we can expect to see him defending our shirt for many more years then you remember what happened this year ctoa our walls suffered a nasty knee injury and that's when Lunen stepped in and he didn't just step in any old way the kid started playing showing his worth and convincing people he made the club rethink his future and the result a contract extension now both the club and Luna's confidence are Skyhigh the guy is saying he feels ready to compete with ctoa so rail has two keepers who can fight for the starting role the puzzle that once seemed unsolvable has fallen into place the renewal is already set just a few details left to make it official and you know how the club is right they like to keep everything under Ms just like they did with venicius but it's already in the air that it's only a matter of time before it's announced remember at the start of the season when there was that uncertainty between him and Kea yeah the competition was fierce until January but in Saudi Arabia he solidified his place as the starter and from then on he only kept improving the Highlight without a doubt was that epic performance in Manchester the guy just elevated himself and showed he's playing at an absurdly high level check out these numbers 12 clean sheets in 31 matches an average of 0.81 in La Liga that's Zamora trophy candidate material right unfortunately he didn't meet the minimum requirement of 28 games to compete for the award he finished with 26 a real shame because his numbers speak for themselves it shows the incredible Evolution he's had and how he made the most of his opportunity at Real Madrid almost a decade defending the Real Madrid Crest huh and not just anyone can pull that off over these years Lunen Has Lifted a Champions League two La lias the Copa del Rey Club World Cup the guy has stacked trophies folks and with this renewal he's sending a message he's strong and ready to fight for a spot even with the Giant coris and goal speaking of ctoas he's 32 now with a contract until 2026 so in the midterm Lunen might take over the goal when the Belgian starts showing signs of wear after a bit of a rocky summer where things seemed uncertain Lunen steps up and calms the waters he signed until 2028 showing he's solid and hungry for more tell me who's confident in our wall for the future does luna now have what it takes to hold down the fort while courtois is [Applause] out e
