According to As reported, Chelsea goalkeeper Kepa is currently paying close attention to the dynamics of Real Madrid, he is eager to return to the Bernabeu Stadium, once again wearing the robe of Real Madrid. The root of this desire is that last season he as a loan player in Real Madrid during the professional attitude and excellent performance, won the team up and down the unanimous praise.
However, the road to Kepa's return is not a straight one. One of the key issues facing Real Madrid at the moment is the contract situation of number two goalkeeper Luening. Lunin is unhappy with his substitute role in the team and his contract is set to expire in just one year, which increases the likelihood of him leaving the team. Real Madrid's management will need to make a decision on Lunin's retention, as it will have a direct impact on whether or not they need to bring in a new replacement goalkeeper.
From Real Madrid's point of view, Kepa is undoubtedly the ideal replacement goalkeeper in their minds. Last season's loan spell proved Kepa's strength and professionalism, as he was able to step up and hold the door for the team at crucial moments. In addition, Kepa's contract with Chelsea is about to expire, which makes him a relatively easy target to bring in.
However, Real Madrid also face some challenges. Firstly, whether Lu Ning leaves the club is an unknown, depending on the player's own wishes and the interest of other clubs in him. If Lunin chooses to stay, then Real Madrid may need to rethink their goalkeeper setup. Secondly, Real Madrid would like to sell Lunin for a sizable transfer fee, but this may not be realistic in the short term. The transfer market is unpredictable and Real Madrid need to be patient and wait for the right time.
For Kepa, his options are also relatively limited at the moment. His contract with Chelsea is also about to expire, but he doesn't seem to be in a hurry to extend his contract with the Blues. Instead, he prefers to continue his career at Real Madrid. As such, he has chosen to stay in London and wait for a call from Real Madrid.
