Chelsea goalkeeper Kepa Arrizabalaga has a year left on his contract with the club.

Kepa, who spent last season on loan with Real Madrid, is set to leave Stamford Bridge this summer.

Kepa has been linked with a return to Real Madrid, but only on the condition that Andriy Lunin leaves the club.

Real Madrid no longer need Kepa as an emergency signing, with Thibaut Courtois fully recovered from his injury.

Carlo Ancelotti has subtly sent this message to Kepa who’s keen on leaving Stamford Bridge.

“We love him. We love him… but in that position we’re covered,” Carlo Ancelotti told journalist Ben Jacobs of Kepa.

“Kepa did really well last season. We were really happy to have him, but I don’t know what’s going to happen this season.”
