REAL MADRID AND KEPA TRANSFER LINKS FULL STORY
According to reports, Real Madrid are in advanced negotiations to sign Kepa on loan. This is also after a major injury to Thibaut Courtois has ruled him out for the major part of the season. Hence, the La Liga giants started discussions with the agents of a number of goalkeepers. Therefore, it looks like the La Liga giants have made Kepa their priority.

CHELSEA WILL DEMAND A SUBSTANTIAL LOAN FEE FOR THE SPANISH GOALKEEPER
Real Madrid are aware that Chelsea will demand a substantial loan fee for Kepa. This is because a loan deal without a buy option only makes sense when they get a higher loan fee. Chelsea will also ask the La Liga giants to cover his 100 % wages this season. The La Liga giants also have Sevilla goalkeeper Bounou on their list.
However, Real Madrid have not made a move for him because they know that he will miss some games because of Africa Cup of Nations. David De Gea and Keylor Navas were also offered as options. However, the La Liga giants have not made any contacts yet to sign their clients. Hence, it looks like the La Liga giants are only focusing on a move for Kepa.
