Real Madrid are not expected to keep Kepa next season, he will return to Chelsea at the end of his loan.

Deprived of Thibaut Courtoisvictim of a cruciate ligament rupture, the real Madrid had to adapt to replace his starting goalkeeper. The Whites have chosen to everyone’s surprise to place their trust in Kepa Arrizabalaga while the Spanish goalkeeper was no longer indisputable at Chelsea. Loaned until the end of the 2023-2024 season, Kepa has clearly not convinced Carlo Ancelotti and his staff who have preferred Andriy Lunin since November.

Kepa not preserved

And the Madrid adventure should come to an end for the 29-year-old player. If we are to believe the information from Relevo this Saturday, the club from the Spanish capital would have chosen not to keep him next season, preferring to place their trust in Courtois and Lunin, who could little by little take the Belgian’s place in the Whites’ goals. For his part, Kepa will certainly be invited to look for a new base since Chelsea already have two goalkeepers who share the matches.
