A number of goalkeepers have been linked with a move to the Santiago Bernabeu, but it seems the club have decided on Chelsea's Kepa Arrizabalaga.
Fabrizio Romano has reported there is a verbal agreement between the Blues and Los Blancos over a season-long loan deal for the Spain international.

The Spanish shot-stopper will not take part in Sunday's Premier League opener against Liverpool at Stamford Bridge.
Kepa was also linked with a move to Bayern Munich, who are also searching for a new goalkeeper as Manuel Neuer recovers from his broken leg.
