The rumoured transfer of Andriy Lunin from Real Madrid to Newcastle has reportedly collapsed. The goalkeeper was thought to be close to a move, but both clubs have now stepped away. It potentially marks the end of a saga that had seemed likely to result in a done deal just a few days ago. Talks broke down before a deal could be reached with Newcastle, leaving the door open for clubs like Fenerbahce and Man Utd to step in. With only 5 goals conceded in 6 (0.83 per game), Newcastle have been one of the stronger defences in the Premier League this season.. Andriy Lunin would be asked to keep that standard and provide dependable cover when needed. Real Madrid have also been linked with Murillo Santiago Costa dos Santos while Newcastle are reportedly monitoring Gabriel Jesus, Mika Biereth and Lois Openda.
