In the latest transfer news, Real Madrid head coach Carlo Ancelotti and his staff have expressed significant interest in Chelsea’s 29-year-old goalkeeper, Kepa Arrizabalaga.

According to renowned football journalist Fabrizio Romano, the Spanish club could consider re-signing Kepa if their current goalkeeper, Andriy Lunin, decides to leave.

Romano took to X (formerly Twitter) to share insights into Kepa’s situation, stating: “His plan to wait for Real Madrid is clear and decided, based on what will happen with Lunin’s exit.

“Ancelotti and his staff appreciated Kepa as a player but also as a top professional last season, never complaining.”

Kepa, who joined Chelsea in 2018 for a record fee for a goalkeeper, spent last season on loan at Real Madrid.

His professionalism and performance during that stint have left a positive impression on the Madrid coaching staff.

Ancelotti’s admiration for Kepa’s abilities and character suggests that he could be a key target for the club should there be a vacancy in the goalkeeping department.

The future of Lunin remains uncertain, but Real Madrid’s proactive approach indicates their readiness to act swiftly in securing a reliable replacement.

Kepa’s potential return to the Santiago Bernabéu would not only bolster the squad but also add depth and experience to their goalkeeping options.
