  WHAT HAPPENED?

  Lunin signed for Jorge Mendes' agency, Polaris Sport, in April, and the agent hasn't wasted much time trying to find the goalkeeper a new club. According to journalist Romain Molina, Mendes is trying to persuade the 25-year-old to leave Madrid this summer, which will catch the eye of several high profile clubs.

  THE BIGGER PICTURE

  Among those clubs might be Chelsea, who are eager to sign a new shot-stopper in order to push Robert Sanchez for the No. 1 spot. And few look better equipped to do that than Lunin, who entered the limelight last season due to Thibaut Courtois' injury and produced a number of impressive displays, most notably against Manchester City in the Champions League quarter-final second leg.

• DID YOU KNOW?

  Mendes' relationship with Real Madrid soured over Leny Yoro's move to Manchester United, and this latest development is unlikely to help repair things. The Spanish champions are reportedly upset that the Portuguese agent directed Yoro's move to Old Trafford over the Santiago Bernabeu.
