If El Correo’s confirmation that Chelsea want Kepa Arizzabalaga, and had opened talks to sign the Spain international, wasn’t enough then perhaps Marca joining the mix will add some extra weight to the claims.
According to the Spanish outlet, the goalkeeper has been given 24 hours to give an answer to Chelsea, who are offering him a lot more money than what he currently earns at Athletic Bilbao.
Marca state those in charge at the La Liga side have now gone into ‘panic mode’, and there’s a fear that news will reach them at any moment that Chelsea will trigger Kepa’s €80m release clause.
Memories of losing Aymeric Laporte in the space of three days are still fresh in their minds, and they’re worried history will repeat itself with their goalkeeper.
Echoing El Correo, Marca explain Kepa has yet to give an answer, hence the 24 hour ultimatum, as they will want this sorted one way or another as quickly as possible.
