Real Madrid have signed up Kepa Arrizabalaga, as he joined on a season-long loan deal from Chelsea.
The 28-year-old Spain international joins Real Madrid, as the Los Blancos were looking for a goalkeeper replacement for Thibaut Courtois who was ruled out until the end of the season due to an ACL injury.
Kepa will wear the No. 25 shirt during his stay at the Santiago Bernabeu.
Real Madrid released a statement on the club’s official website, thus: “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.
