'I felt the Chelsea project was not the right one': Kepa confirms desire to stay at Real Madrid

The Spaniard has little desire to return

Kepa Arrizabalaga has confirmed that he intends to stay at Real Madrid beyond the one-year loan spell.

"My intention is to stay [with Real Madrid] for more than a year," the Chelsea loanee told COPE.

"It only took a couple of calls because when Real Madrid call, it is different. I felt the Chelsea project was not the right one."

The question remains whether Real Madrid will need Kepa beyond this season after Thibaut Courtois recovers.

Chelsea appear to have moved on from Kepa after signing Robert Sanchez and Djordje Petrovic. Arrizabalaga's contract expires in less than two years now.
