Real Madrid overtakes Bayern in Kepa pursuit

Real Madrid are entering talks to sign Kepa Arrizabalaga from Chelsea. The serious injury to Thibaut Courtois has forced Ancelotti to look for a new goalkeeper and a return ]to Spain for Kepa looks tempting option.

Kepa agrees to such a transfer and is ready to stand under the framework of the Spanish giants. Bayern were also interested, but the club has already been informed of the Spaniards’ actions. The club from Munich is also in search of a goalkeeper, because Manuel Neuer got injured again.

Real Madrid have now contacted Kepa’s camp — discussions are ongoing with player keen on the move, Kepa open to joining Real even on loan. ?⚪️

Bayern, informed — as @Plettigoal reported.
