CELTIC are in the market for a new keeper, with the club keen on replacing the ageing Joe Hart.

The Hoops are reportedly keeping an eye on Real Madrid goalkeeper Andriy Lunin, as part of their ongoing scouting of potential targets between the sticks.

The 24-year-old Ukrainian international has recently come under Celtic’s radar for his performances with the Spanish giants.

Celtic showed an interest in Lunin during the previous transfer window, but Real Madrid was hesitant to let him go, especially since he started the season as their first-choice goalkeeper for the first two games.

Lunin, who is back in action after an injury to fellow goalkeeper Kepa, has been performing well both domestically and in the Champions League, which has led to discussions about his future at Real Madrid.

Spanish sources, including Relevo [reported by RecordSport], indicate that an extension to Lunin’s contract with Real Madrid could be a possibility, despite him being free to leave at the end of the current campaign.
