Yassine Bounou has been tipped to replace the injured Thibault Courtois in goal for Real Madrid, but will not be joining the Merengues in the end. Instead, Real Madrid have opted for Kepa, the current Chelsea keeper. According to the English press, Real Madrid have reached an agreement with the Blues for a season's loan. The Spanish goalkeeper was not in the squad for Sunday's Ligue 1 match against Liverpool.
