Thibaut Courtois, the La Liga side’s No 1 choice is ruled out for most of the season with an ACL injury
Real Madrid are in talks to sign Chelsea goalkeeper Kepa Arrizabalaga following an injury to Thibaut Courtois.
Kepa had been targeted by Bayern Munich, but La Liga side Real are now in need of a goalkeeper after Courtois suffered anterior cruciate ligament damage that will keep him out for most of the season.
It is understood Kepa is keen to return to Spain and join Real on what could start as a loan deal with an obligation for the club to buy him.
Chelsea signed Robert Sanchez from Brighton to compete with Kepa for the number one position and the Blues will need to sign a replacement. The move to Stamford Bridge reunited Sanchez with Ben Roberts, his former goalkeeping coach at Brighton who left for Chelsea in September last year.
