At 28 years old, Kepa has been brought in on a season-long loan agreement by Real Madrid. He steps in to fill the void left by Belgian goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois, who sustained an anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) tear in his left knee during a training session last Thursday, keeping him sidelined for several months.

The Spanish international, who made a substantial £71.6 million move from Athletic Bilbao to Chelsea in August 2018, will be affiliated with the Bernabeu until June of the following year. Kepa was also a target for Bayern Munich, who sought to address their own goalkeeping vacancy due to the injury of Manuel Neuer, but Real Madrid acted swiftly to secure the arrangement.

According to an official statement on Real's website:

“Real Madrid CF and Chelsea FC have agreed on the loan of the player Kepa Arrizabalaga, who is linked to the club this season, until June 30, 2024.

“Over his five seasons at Chelsea, he has secured one Champions League trophy, one Club World Cup, one European Super Cup, and one Europa League title.
