Chelsea has entered a new phase under the leadership of Todd Boehly and Clearlake Capital. This summer's transfer window will be a watershed point in the takeover, as Thomas wants to start his rebuilding process with the luxury of £200 million in his bank account. Should the Blues move on from Kepa Arrizabalaga? This is a topic that will need to be answered sooner rather than later.
This season, the goalie has seen enough action to warrant a move, and clubs are intrigued. Prior to his sanctioning, Roman Abramovich had been linked with Lazio and Newcastle. The links with Newcastle are still there, but what should Chelsea do now?
Since then, the £72 million Spaniard has failed to live up to the title of world's most expensive.
Chelsea is closing in on Gabriel Slonina, an American goalkeeper. According to rumours, they are considering a deal of around £8.5 million for the Chicago Fire goalkeeper. If this effort is successful, the Blues may be forced to make a difficult choice.
I'd like to think that, like any other armchair supporter, I know what's best for my team. It would have been simple if it had been up to me to make the decision. Allow Kepa to leave! The 27-year-old has a long career ahead of him and must move on. His career has been on a downhill spiral since arriving to Stamford Bridge in 2018. He and his former manager, Maurizio Sarri, had an altercation in which he refused to be substituted off in a match.
Newcastle United are still interested in signing Chelsea goalkeeper Petr Cech. Adding Kepa to the Magpies' ideal team in order to compete for a top-four spot would be another step in the right way for all parties involved.
Slonina has drawn teams from all around the world, including Real Madrid. The Champions League champions' first bid was turned down by Chicago Fire. Chelsea was able to come in and take advantage of the situation. Chelsea are now'really close' to signing the MLS goalkeeper, according to transfer specialist Fabrizio Romano.
