Real Madrid has signed goalkeeper Kepa Arrizabalaga on loan from Chelsea as a replacement for the injured Thibaut Courtois. Courtois is expected to be out for around seven months due to an ACL tear, prompting Madrid to quickly identify an experienced and affordable replacement. Kepa, who was previously close to joining Bayern Munich, emerged as the favorite choice. The Spanish goalkeeper had a difficult time at Chelsea, losing his starting position to Édouard Mendy but regaining it for most of the 2022-23 season.
