Lunin could be joined by his 'brother' Kubo at Real Valladolid Real Madrid Struck a good friendship during pre-season

Andriy Lunin and Takefusa Kubo struck up a close friendship during Real Madrid's pre-season tour of North America and the pair could be set to be teammates once again as Real Valladolid seek to sign them on loan for the 2019/20 season.

The Ukrainian goalkeeper and the Japanese attacker had not met until July 8 at Valdebebas but, since then, the duo have been inseparable.

Both have a solid command of Spanish despite their short time in the country, and that bond could grow stronger as Valladolid look to take them on for the coming campaign.

Valladolid owner Ronaldo and his solid relationship with those upstairs at Real Madrid means the Pucela club are in a good position to loan the promising pair.

Lunin did enough to impress in his limited chances on loan at Leganes last year while Kubo's talent stood out during pre-season.

Should Ronaldo get his way, Valladolid would be incorporating two of the most highly-regarded talents on Real Madrid's books.
