The league *** has 12 wins, 2 draws and 1 loss, Real Madrid leads the La Liga standings with 38 points, but Girona is chasing after him with 38 points, and Barcelona has also scored 34 points and has not been left behind. The fact that the Bernabeu have a bit of a surprise at their current level is a bit of a surprise given that the club has not invested in a transfer window, and despite bringing in a top-class star like Bellingham, the lack of depth in the squad is a real thing.
At the beginning of the season, serious injuries to Thibaut Courtois and Militão cast a shadow over the Blancos, and then Vinicius suffered another injury, Rodrygo's poor form fell into a goal drought, but fortunately new signing Belin was promoted to Bay, averaging one goal per game to help Real Madrid pass one after another. In addition, Kepa Arrizabalaga, who came on loan, also put in a pretty good performance, so much so that Real Madrid thought of buying out his contract.
The news was confirmed by José Felix Díaz, a well-known journalist for Marca, who reported that Real Madrid plan to offer Chelsea €15 million to buy Kepa Arrizabalaga's remaining year of his contract.
The 29-year-old Spaniard has felt a long-lost happiness at Real Madrid, having interrupted his career's upward momentum by a move from Athletic Bilbao to Chelsea in 2018 with a goalkeeper transfer record of 80 million euros.
The player has long been interested in leaving Chelsea, and Bayern Munich have decided to leave the club this summer, but in the end they were invited by Real Madrid to choose Madrid, which is closer to home. But Real Madrid's buyout of him is not a good thing, firstly because his salary is up to 10 million euros before tax, and secondly, because Lunin's contract has not expired, and the two are in direct conflict.
€5 million after tax is too costly for the second goalkeeper and Kepa will have to accept a big pay cut if he insists on staying at Real Madrid. Lunin and Real Madrid still have a one-and-a-half-year contract, which does not expire this summer as rumored by the outside world. But the Ukrainian has already decided to leave the team, and his wife even publicly said on social **: Lunin is ready to leave the team, and whoever is willing to give game time can talk. With Thibaut Courtois in the starting line-up, Real Madrid will have a hard time convincing Lunin to stay, which may be why they are considering buying Kepa.
After Kepa Arrizabalaga's injury, Lunin was given game time, including performances against Braga, Valencia and Cadiz, keeping three clean sheets in five games. Playing performance is conducive to increasing the value, and Real Madrid can also make a lot of money in the transaction, at least 20 million to 30 million euros.
