Kepa opens up about Real Madrid move

29 dic 2017

It’s no secret that Real Madrid is looking to replace struggling Keylor Navas between the pipes at the Santiago Bernabeu. The favorite to take the mantle is Athletic Bilbao shot-stopper Kepa Arrizabalaga.

The youngster has vacillated between comments that he plans to renew in Bilbao, and no comments at all. Recently, his words mirrored the latter.

“I have a contract this year and another one, until 2018,” he told Mundo Deportivo. “I am calm, happy, and focused on this part of the season in which we play a lot. My goal is to make strong finish to the season, and to be able to enter Europe and help the team as much as I can. Let's go step by step. If there is something to announce, it will be announced.”

“It has been a nice season for me and I'm happy where I am.” However, he added, “Although, I'm aware that keeping me is very difficult.”
