Kepa Arrizabalaga has completed a surprising loan move to Real Madrid. It has already sent shockwaves across the whole football world. The former Chelsea Goalkeeper has officially been announced as the Los Blancos’ latest acquisition. A desperate move in the dying stages of the transfer deadline in an attempt to compensate for Thibaut Courtois‘ untimely injury.

The move has sparked debate and exchange of words between both sets of fans- Real Madrid and Barcelona– on social media platforms. After spending an underwhelming stint at Chelsea, the Spanish custodian has a chance to redeem himself with a move to Santiago Bernabeu.

Real Madrid’s urgency of signing a new goalkeeper for the 2023/24 season was down to an unfortunate ACL injury to Thibaut Courtois. Due to the crucial ligament injury, the Belgian will be sidelined for a couple of weeks. This opened doors for Kepa to take a huge step. Where he is expected to improve and rejuvenate his failed career, all while proving his worth on the competitive stage. Albeit, his journey in Real Madrid will be very challenging. Since he will have to compete with Courtois- who is one of the best players in his position.

The 28-year-old goalkeeper joined Chelsea back in 2017 for a whopping £72 million. But Kepa’s highs and lows were marred by inconsistencies. Ultimately, leading him to be dropped out of the first-team lineup, and now being part of a temporary move. In the press conference, Kepa stated, “Let’s hope with my effort, and my performance above all, I can make the move permanent.”
