Real Madrid 'want to make Kepa Arrizabalaga's loan move permanent - but WON'T pay more than £17.5m'... meaning Chelsea would make more than a £50m loss on the goalkeeper

Real Madrid are reportedly looking to make Kepa Arrizabalaga's loan move a permanent deal that would see Chelsea make a substantial loss on the goalkeeper.

Arrizabalaga joined Madrid in the summer on a season-long loan after regular Los Blancos shot-stopper Thibaut Courtois ruptured his ACL, ruling him out for the majority of the season.

He has been Carlo Ancelotti's number one goalkeeper ever since, helping his new side to top spot in La Liga and a positive start in their Champions League campaign as they look to regain the trophy.
