Two days after the serious injury of Thibaut Courtois, Real Madrid have reached an agreement for the loan of Spanish goalkeeper Kepa Arrizabalaga.

David De Gea refused by Carlo Ancelotti and Yassine Bounou too expensive, Real Madrid found a replacement for Thibaut Courtois, two days after the rupture of the anterior cruciate ligament in the left knee of the indispensable Belgian goalkeeper of the Merengues. It’s Kepa Arrizabalaga who will land with the Merengues!

La Casa Blanca agreed on Saturday with Chelsea for a loan from the 28-year-old Spanish goalkeeper. According to Cope, the two clubs did not include a purchase option. Recruited for 80 million euros from Bilbao in 2018, Kepa blew hot and cold, losing his place to Edouard Mendy before recovering it last season. Ancelotti and his staff validated this track, especially since the goalkeeping coach worked with Kepa in Bilbao.

Chelsea have just signed Robert Sanchez, another Spanish goalkeeper, against 25 million euros from Brighton, in order to compete with Kepa. The number 1 of the Blues is therefore all found.
