Real Madrid suffered days before the start of the 2023-24 season when Thibaut Courtois broke his ACL during training and it forced the club's management to seek a short-term solution.

It means Kepa Arrizabalaga has joined Chelsea on a season-long loan deal. Since joining, he has played nine games in all divisions, keeping a clean sheet five times.

So far, Kepa has shown his ability to replace Courtois, but according to Fabrizio Romano, he has revealed that he wants to stay at Real Madrid, although the Belgium international will return to action at the start of the season. Next.

It will not be too expensive for Real Madrid to buy Kepa permanently, as his time at Chelsea looks over and over. However, the question is whether he will agree to be on Courtois' bench, as it will be his role if he stays.
