Real Madrid rival Bayern Munich for Chelsea keeper Kepa

Chelsea could be set to entertain a bidding war for their first team goalkeeper this summer.

The Blues have learned that Real Madrid have joined Bayern Munich in the race to sign Kepa Arrizabalaga.

The Spanish shot stopper, who is now 28, is a possible starter for the Blues this season.

He will compete with new signing Robert Sanchez for a starting spot under Mauricio Pochettino.

Per Sport1, Bayern are serious about signing Kepa, as they are unsure about the fitness of Manuel Neuer.

Meanwhile, Real are also looking to find an alternative to Thibaut Courtois, who has a serious knee injury.
