According to Sky: Kepa is on the verge of joining Real Madrid

Acccording to Sky reporter Plettenberg, Kepa is close to rejecting Bayern! He's now on the verge of joining Real Madrid after the Courtois injury. 

Several names have been linked, with the most prominent being David De Gea and Yassine Bounou. The latter has been the favourite of the Real Madrid coaching staff, but it now appears that neither will be joining.

Instead, Chelsea’s Kepa Arrizabalaga is close to joining on a season-long loan, as reported by Marca. The 28-year-old is no longer number one at the Premier League side following the arrival of fellow Spaniard Robert Sanchez, and he could now make the move to the Madrid.

Kepa has been in talks to join Bayern Munich, although a move to Real Madrid now looks to be closer. A one-year loan deal makes a lot of sense, considering Courtois will retain his spot as number one upon return from injury, but whether the former Athletic Club keeper is the best choice remains to be seen.
