Kepa Arrizabalaga’s departure from Chelsea is now ‘imminent’, report AS on Tuesday.
On Monday, we covered claims from Italy which explained Napoli were advancing in talks to sign the goalkeeper on loan.
Some reports even claimed the Blues will continue to pay 75% of the player’s wages during his time with the Serie A club, which is a much higher percentage than usually happens in these situations.
Given the 27-year-old Spaniard will still have a dream of appearing at the Qatar World Cup, he’ll need to be getting regular football and that’s why the desire for a move has grown.
AS say they’ve found out that talks with Napoli have been progressing daily, with the clubs involved and the player’s agents pushing the deal forward. It’s once again mentioned that Chelsea will continue to cover a large percentage of the goalkeeper’s wages, and it’s stated the good relationship between the two sides will help get a deal over the line.
