“Transfer Update: Chelsea Sets Sights on Former EPL Goalkeeper Amid Kepa’s Real Madrid Move
Chelsea is contemplating a potential move for ex-Premier League goalkeeper Kasper Schmeichel, as Kepa Arrizabalaga finalizes a season-long loan agreement with Real Madrid.
Kepa’s departure from Chelsea this summer is imminent, following Edouard Mendy’s earlier exit from Stamford Bridge.
Real Madrid finds themselves in need of a new goalkeeper due to Thibault Courtois’ unfortunate knee injury, prompting their interest in securing Kepa from Chelsea on a short-term arrangement.
Chelsea has already secured the signature of Robert Sanchez from Brighton for £25 million, positioning him to potentially assume the starting role in their Premier League opener against Liverpool this Sunday at Stamford Bridge.
With the need for additional goalkeeping depth, The Guardian reports that Mauricio Pochettino’s squad is now exploring the possibility of recruiting Schmeichel, who currently plies his trade with Nice.”
