Real Madrid in talks with Chelsea after Courtois injury to sign goalkeeper Kepa on loan

O Real Madrid has an eye on the market and is looking for a goalkeeper to replace the Belgian Thibaut Courtois, who tore the anterior cruciate ligament in his left knee and will be out for much of the 2023/24 season. Thus, the Spanish club opened negotiations with Chelsea to sign the Spaniard Kepa Arrizabalaga, according to the journalist. Fabricius Roman.

The team from the Spanish capital would have already started negotiations to bring the archer on loan. O Bayernwho was also interested in reinforcing his goal with the Spaniard, must abandon negotiations already advanced, since Kepa’s desire is to transfer to Real Madrid.

According to the journalist, Bayern, who also want to hire a goalkeeper after Neuer’s injury recovery has not been as expected, does not intend to continue investing in the Spaniard. That’s because the German team only wants to count on players who are interested in being part of the club’s project.

Thibaut Courtois was injured in a Real Madrid training session last Thursday, August 10th, and had to undergo medical tests, which detected a torn anterior cruciate ligament of the knee (ACL) – an injury that is very common in women’s football .

Kepa could be a good option to reinforce Real Madrid’s goal. like the Chelsea recently signed goalkeeper Robert Sanchez, formerly of Brighton, the Spaniard must lose space in the Blues’ goal and, to remain at a high level, a loan to the Spanish club would be a great opportunity.

Several names have already been speculated in the Real Madrid goal; however, the two most realistic options at this point are Kepa and David de Gea, who left the Manchester United after failing to renew its contract and is free on the market.
