He wants to play for Real Madrid – Madrid president says on Chelsea star

Real Madrid president Florentino Perez has claimed Kepa Arrizabalaga turned down other clubs to seal his loan move from Chelsea.

The 28 year old Spanish goalkeeper has completed a season-long loan deal to Real Madrid following the long-term injury to Real Madrid number one goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois.

German champions Bayern Munich were also interested in signing Kepa on loan as replacement for Manuel Neuer, who is out injured until 2024, but Kepa reportedly only wanted Real Madrid.

“Kepa had big offers on the table but he decided to join us — he only wanted Real Madrid,” Real Madrid president Perez said.
