Real Madrid might be regretting not having taken the opportunity to sign Kepa Arrizabalaga last summer when his transfer was feasible for a figure close to 15-20 million euros. The goalkeeper from Ondarroa, who is now shining under the Bournemouth's goalposts, is proving that, with the right confidence, he can be a top-level goalkeeper.

During his loan spell with the Cherries, Kepa has regained sensations that seemed forgotten. His recent performance against Tottenham, where he was a key player in Andoni Iraola's team's victory, has made it clear that the Basque is still capable of performing at a very high level. Decisive interventions and increasing security in each game reinforce the idea that, with continuity and support, the goalkeeper can be decisive.

A decision that Real Madrid now regrets

Real Madrid chose not to make his incorporation effective after evaluating other options in the market, preferring to cover their goal with more experienced alternatives than Kepa but on a loan basis, which ended up benefiting Bournemouth. Now, with the performance he is offering, they wonder if that move was not a strategic mistake.

The goalkeeper's future remains uncertain. With a contract with Chelsea until 2026, next summer will be decisive in determining his next destination. Bournemouth could try to retain him, while other European clubs will surely take note of his resurgence. Meanwhile, at the Santiago Bernabéu, the question remains of what would have happened if they had bet on a Kepa who, at an affordable price, could have been a great addition to the white team. A decision that now seems more questionable than ever.
