Real Madrid has secured the services of Kepa Arrizabalaga from Chelsea, signing him on a loan deal until the end of the season.
It appears that the agreement does not include an option for Kepa to transition into a permanent signing with Los Blancos.
The necessity for a new goalkeeper arose for Real Madrid due to Thibaut Courtois suffering an ACL injury on the eve of the new La Liga season.
After negotiations with Sevilla goalkeeper Yassine Bounou hit an impasse, Real Madrid shifted their focus towards Kepa, ultimately sealing a loan deal for the goalkeeper.
The Spain international played 39 times for Chelsea across all competitions last season, keeping 12 clean sheets.
