Kepa confirms next steps at Chelsea amid Real Madrid links


Kepa Arrizabalaga, a rumor transfer The goal for Real Madrid has confirmed that he will have talks about his long -term future in the coming weeks.

The 30-year-old became the most expensive goalkeeper in the world when he came to the blues for £ 71 million in 2018, but in a few disappointing years he ultimately lost his place as a starter. Kepa came to Real Madrid last season to cover a violation of Thibaut Courtois, but has revived his career during a temporary magic with Bournemouth this year.

Bournemouth wants to permanently sign Kepa this summer – your business does not include such an agreement with Chelsea – but it was reported that Madrid also looks at him when you lose the current deputy Andriy Lunin.

Kepa was asked after the 2-2 draw by West Ham United with West Ham United and insisted that he did not know what his next step would be, but was not afraid to admit his happiness in the life of the vitality.

“Of course I can say that I am really happy and enjoy my season here,” he said. “I think I show it and feel good on the field.

“It is not time to think about the future, we will make the decision, we are in contact with everyone and now I’m under contract with Chelsea. We have some discussions, they will take place in the next few weeks and then we will decide.”

Kepa will only have 12 months in his contract if he returns to Chelsea this summer. For a long time, the blues were desperate to shorten the relationships with the stopper, even if they have to agree to a small payment to convince him of giving up part of his wages and not convincing him to move to Saudi Arabia last year.

Chelsea has several goalkeepers who are fighting for a role next season. Robert Sanchez and Filip Jorgensen are the two leading options that are currently in Enzo Maresca’s squad, but Djordje Petrovic was able to get a place back after an impressive loan magic with sister Side Strasburg. The highly rated 19-year-old Mike Penders will also take part in a deal worth 17 million GBP in a deal.
