I want to stay at Real Madrid after loan – Kepa
Real Madrid latest signing, Kepa Arrizabalaga has openly shared his aspirations of securing a long-term role within the club. Kepa’s sentiments stem from the opportunity presented to him through his recent loan transfer to Madrid, a move that materialized following the unfortunate ACL injury sustained by the team’s primary goalkeeper, Thibaut Courtois. The Belgian’s injury is projected to keep him off the field for a minimum of five months.
The former Chelsea player articulated his optimism during an interview. “I hope that with my performances, Real Madrid will decide to keep me after the loan,” Kepa expressed. He elaborated on his ambition, highlighting the potential for his dedication and prowess to influence the club’s decision. “Today is day one and I’m here on loan, but we’ll have time and we’ll see. I hope that with my effort and performance this can happen.”
The 28 years old is no stranger to the La Liga arena, having spent an impactful three years with Athletic Club Bilbao prior to his notable £71.6 million transfer to Chelsea. Now, he finds himself back in the Spanish league, eager to make his mark within the esteemed ranks of Real Madrid.
