After Real Madrid lost to Manchester City in the Champions League , the club made crucial signings like Bellingham, Adar Guler , Joselu thinking they were ready for the up coming season .
After preseason took place , Real unveiled their kits for the season and began team training in Madrid at the Valdebades .
During their last training to prepare for their first match of the new season against Ateletico Bilbao , T.Courtois felt a pain in his left ankle and couldn't train.
The Head Coach with the assistance of other supervisors decided to run a test to identify the problem and find solutions to it since they would be having thier first match soon.
After the test was conducted, they realized the first choice Goal Keeper had a very serious injury on his left ankle,and for that reason Courtois would be isolated for about 8 months to receive treatments and recover quickly.
This gave the club no choice than to sign a Goal Keeper to relpace Courtois in the goal post since Lunin is not trusted .
F.Perez and C.Accenlotti had three Goal keepers available on the market , they were David De Gea, Bono and Kepa as an option to replace Courtois.
The club had contacts with Sevilla for Bono and the club requested for 15m even though he said YES to Madrid.
Next in line was D.De Gea , He offered him self to Real Madrid but was rejected due to his demands.
Now Focusing on their last hope, Real Madrid saw Kepa to be a perfect suit to replace Courtois
Madrid made a move for the Spanish Goal Keeper. After some negotiations with Chelsea , the club decided to sign Kepa on loan.
That is , He would be available for Madrid till the end of the season, when Courtois return.
After Documentations were done, presentation took place and Kepa was handed the jersey number 25 which he choose by him self.
During His presentation, Kepa was given the opportunity to say something about his time to send at Madrid.
Kepa " When Real Madrid wanted me , It was clear ,My family , friends and every body close to me were happy and I hope Real Madrid will keep me by the end of the season".
He sent messages of encouragement to his new teammates who are injured (E.Militao,Adar Guler and T. Courtois). He also wished them a speedy recovery.
