Real Madrid 5th sign! Kepa joined on loan for 1 year, the main goalkeeper was in place, and 3 people were seriously injured or signed again

On Monday, Real Madrid announced Kepa's one-year loan through the club's official website.

Prior to the start of the season, Courtois suffered a torn ligament in his left knee during training and will undergo surgery and will miss five to seven months due to injury. After Courtois' injury, Real Madrid had only one goalkeeper in the first team, Luning, which allowed Real Madrid to quickly search for the right person in the transfer market.

Carlo Ancelotti's favourite was Bonu, but Real Madrid eventually dropped the option because he would be playing in the Africa Cup of Nations and would miss a month of matches. In the end, Real Madrid decided to sign Kepa.

Kepa has been hoping to leave the summer window following Chelsea's signing to Alexis Sanchez, having previously been expected to move to Bayern. After receiving an invitation from Real Madrid, Kepa quickly accepted the invitation. Kepa, 28, is signed to Chelsea's contract until 30 June 2025.

In the announcement, Real Madrid said: "Real Madrid have reached an agreement with Chelsea that Chelsea player Kepa will join Real Madrid on loan until 30 June 2024. On 15 August, at 19:30, the club will hold a welcome ceremony for Kepa at the Real Madrid Stadium. ”

In the summer window, Real Madrid have already signed Bellingham, Güller, Fran Garcia and Joselu, with Kepa becoming the fifth new signing. It is worth mentioning that in addition to Courtois, Güller and Militão were also seriously injured and absent for a long time.
