Goodbye Real Madrid! Kepa Arrizabalaga returned to the Premier League, and the €80 million goalkeeper was not selected for the national team
Kepa's transfer record has not been surpassed so far, as he set a transfer record of €80 million for the world's number one goalkeeper. This Spanish goalkeeper. Unfortunately, Kepa's career has not been smooth sailing, and an unexpected injury to Thibaut Courtois at the start of the season allowed Kepa to be offered a contract without any contract clauses, and Kepa lost his place in the main team at Real Madrid and is now confined to the bench.
After joining Real Madrid, Kepa had a clear desire to be recognized by Real Madrid and to be acquired by Real Madrid, who were the team of his dreams. Kepa Arrizabalaga was well received at the start of his contract and was recognised by many fans, but in November due to injury, Lunin replaced Kepa as a starting agent for Real Madrid. Until now, despite Kepa Arrizabalaga's recovery from injury, he still can't match Lunin in Carlo Ancelotti's squad.
According to the latest news, Real Madrid goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois will not be back until April at the latest, and he will also be battling Luning for the right to start. Kepa Arrizabalaga is not on Real Madrid's radar, so there is a good chance he will return to Chelsea at the end of the season. However, Chelsea don't need Kepa Arrizabalaga anymore and he struggles to secure a regular starting spot. With Kepa Arrizabalaga still on his Chelsea contract and a difficult one-year contract to renew and his recent form has not been great, it is almost impossible to join a strong club.
But he didn't get enough of the game, which put his place on the international stage in jeopardy. According to the Spanish newspaper Relevo, Spain coach de la Fuente has his eye on Real Madrid goalkeeper Remino who has been selected to replace him due to injury, while Kepa has a chance to miss the European Championship. In addition, Kepa will be 30 years old at the next European Championship, and it will be difficult for him to return to the international stage with an uncertain future.
Kepa Arrizabalaga, the most expensive goalkeeper in Europe, is now only 20 million euros, his value has plummeted, he can't find too many opportunities to play at Chelsea or Real Madrid, and FIFA can't guarantee his start, a 29-year-old young goalkeeper, in the prime of life, is really a little unbearable. No major club has shown any interest in Kepa Arrizabalaga so far, and it is questionable whether the player will be able to establish himself in Europe.
