Kepa Arrizabalaga's fate at Real Madrid grows ever darker as the Spanish goalkeeper remains in the shadows, without stepping on the pitch, while his teammate Andriy Lunin shines in the Merengue goal. The situation becomes even more complicated given that Arrizabalaga is on loan from Chelsea until the end of the season, with the Londoners demanding a substantial figure for his release.

With Lunin securing his place as a starter and Belgium's Thibaut Courtois undisputed when he recovers from injury, Kepa's chances at the Santiago Bernabeu fade. Lunin's solid and assured performance has convinced Carlo Ancelotti and the coaching staff that he has the potential to be the future keeper of the white goal.

The dilemma lies in Kepa's contractual situation. Chelsea will not allow the Basque goalkeeper to leave without significant compensation, which is estimated at around €20-25 million, a sum that Real Madrid is currently unwilling to shell out. With other financial priorities and a squad that requires reinforcement in different areas, the Madrid club's management is reluctant to make a considerable investment in a position where they already have talent and depth.

This reality leaves Kepa in a precarious position. With no opportunities to prove his worth on the pitch and an uncertain future at Real Madrid, next summer is shaping up to be the time when the goalkeeper will be looking for new horizons. With clubs in Europe potentially interested in his services, Kepa could find a fresh start away from the Spanish capital.
