Real Madrid could soon turn Kepa Arrizabalaga’s loan into a permanent transfer, but only if Chelsea accept a major loss on their record investment.
Having signed Kepa on loan during the summer, Real Madrid are prepare to strike a permanent deal. But The Sun reports Los Blancos will only pay £17.5 million ($21m), which would mean a huge loss for Chelsea on the £72m ($88m) they paid for him in 2018 – which remains a world-record transfer fee for a goalkeeper. The player is said to be willing to accept a wage cut for it to happen, though.
