Andriy Lunin rejected "3,000 offers" for dream Real Madrid move

Latest Real Madrid recruit Andriy Lunin insists that he only ever had eyes for the Spanish giants, having rejected advances from numerous other clubs.

Andriy Lunin has admitted that sealing a move to Real Madrid is a "dream" after rejecting '3,000 other offers' to join the European champions.

The 19-year-old completed his switch from Ukrainian side Zorya Luhansk on Friday for a reported fee of £12.3m.

Real Sociedad missed out on the Ukraine international in January and Inter Milan are also understood to have made their interest known, but Lunin only ever had eyes on La Liga giants Madrid.

"Everyone knows that we had 3,000 offers but Madrid is my dream, I did not come here for money," he told Marca. "I said it publicly in the press of my country, I am a fan of Real Madrid.

"Right now I do not think about being the first goalkeeper - I would like to be - but what I would like is to be here many years and to try to lift the Champions League with this team."

Madrid also signed Rodrygo Goes from Santos earlier this month, with the teenager due to arrive at the Bernabeu next year.
