The newspaper “Marca” revealed that the Real Madrid administration has decided on the name of the first to depart from the Royal Club’s list in the upcoming summer transfer period.
The Spanish club has decided that it will not submit an offer to buy Kepa from Chelsea, after he failed to impose himself during the absence of Thibaut Courtois due to injury this season.
At the same time, coach Carlo Ancelotti does not intend to rely on Kepa for the remainder of the current season, and made his decision that Andriy Lunin will be the first goalkeeper until Courtois returns.
The Real Madrid management will enter into a round of negotiations with Lunin in order to renew his contract, which expires in 2025, and there is optimism from both parties that things will go positively and that the Ukrainian goalkeeper will accept the role of second-in-command and extend his contract.
Thus, there will be no need for Kepa to continue after he lost the trust of everyone inside the Santiago Bernabeu, and the Spanish goalkeeper himself is not satisfied with how things are going.
Kepa was the first goalkeeper for Real Madrid since he was signed on loan last August until he was injured in November, and as soon as Lunin participated and Ancelotti began to rotate between them due to the brilliance of the Ukrainian goalkeeper.
But based on the Spanish Super Cup and Kepa’s disappointing match against Atletico versus Lunin’s brilliance in El Clásico, the decision came to install the Ukrainian, who has been performing since then.
