Kepa Arrizabalaga, rumored transfer Real Madrid’s goal has confirmed that he will have Chelsea talks about his long -term future in the coming weeks.
The 30 -year -old became the most expensive goalkeeper in the world when he joined the blues for £ 71 million in 2018, but several disappointing years lost his place as a starter. Kepa joined Real Madrid on loan last season to help cover an injury to Thibaut Courtois, but has reinvigorated his career for a temporary spell with Bournemouth this year.
Bournemouth is eager to permanently sign Kepa This summer its agreement does not include any agreement with Chelsea, but it has been reported that this Madrid also looks at him If they lose the current Member Andriy Lunin.
Asked about his future after Bournemouth’s 2-2 tie with West Ham United at the weekend, Kepa insisted that he did not know what his next step will be, but did not move away from admitting his happiness with life in Vitality Stadium.
“Obviously what I can say is that I am really happy and I am enjoying my play time here,” he said. “I think I’m showing it and I feel good on the pitch.
“It’s not time to think about the future, we will make the decision, we are in contact with everyone and now I have a contract Chelsea. We have some conversations to have, they will spend in the coming weeks and then we will decide. “”
Kepa will have only 12 months in the contract when he returns to Chelsea this summer. The Blues have been desperate to cut the ties with the stopper, even if they have to agree a small payment to convince him to resign apart from their salaries and could not convince him to move to Saudi Arabia last year.
Chelsea has several goalkeepers fighting for a piece of paper next season. Robert Sanchez and Filip Jorgensen are the two major options currently on the Maresca Enzo staff, but Djordje Petrovic could recover a place after an impressive loan spell with Sister Side Strasburg. Mike Penders, 19, can also join Genk in an agreement worth 17 million £.
