Real Madrid Confidencial Chelsea Puts Him Up for Sale and Real Madrid Considers the Signing: Big Surprise
Real Madrid is very alert to the possibility of strengthening their squad with a 'blue' player
New Saga Between Kepa Arrizabalaga and Real Madrid. The Spanish goalkeeper is having an outstanding season with Bournemouth, establishing himself as one of the most influential players in the Premier League.
However, the goalkeeper from Ondarroa is playing on loan from Chelsea, a club with which the 'cherries' will have to negotiate if they want to retain him. In this context, Real Madrid has set their sights on Kepa Arrizabalaga again and would be willing to go for him if Andriy Lunin decides to leave.
It should be remembered that the goalkeeper was already under Carlo Ancelotti's orders last season. Despite not finishing the season as a starter, the Spaniard left very good friends in the locker room and a great relationship with the fans. Without a doubt, Kepa Arrizabalaga's return to Real Madrid would be very well received by Madrid fans.
What Is Kepa Arrizabalaga's Situation?
At 30 years old, Kepa Arrizabalaga has played 25 matches this season defending Bournemouth's goal. The Basque goalkeeper has become an essential piece in Andoni Iraola's scheme, managing to keep his goal unbeaten on six occasions. He joined the English team last summer on loan from Chelsea, a club with which he has a contract until 2026.
According to data from 'Transfermarkt', his current market value is 11 million euros. Meanwhile, Bournemouth has a strong interest in securing his permanent signing, as they are very satisfied with his performance. However, Real Madrid's appearance could change the course of the operation, as Kepa Arrizabalaga would be delighted to return to Madrid.
What Is Happening with Andriy Lunin?
However, it must be taken into account that Kepa's signing will not happen in any case if Andriy Lunin doesn't leave the club. The Ukrainian, who knows perfectly well that he is behind Thibaut Courtois, could consider different offers during the summer. Arsenal, Inter, or Chelsea have already been interested in his services in the past, so he could consider a transfer.
In that case, Real Madrid could opt for the arrival of a Kepa Arrizabalaga who would return to Bernabéu with his eyes closed. We will have to be alert to the future of the Basque goalkeeper, who could continue at Bournemouth or return to wear the Madrid jersey.
