Kepa’s £72million move to Stamford Bridge in 2018 made him the most expensive goalkeeper of all time.The Spaniard has not enjoyed the best spell in west London and was replaced by Edouard Mendy as the club’s No. 1 in September 2020 after making several high-profile errors.
Despite performing well in Mendy’s absence, the former Athletic Bilbao man did not retain his place when his teammate returned after winning the continental competition. Alex Meret would be the natural choice to take on the role, though it seems that Luciano Spaletti is eager to bring in a new goalkeeper following Ospina’s departure.
Napoli and the Blues are still discussing bonuses, with the former aiming to drive down Chelsea’s demands of €1.5m.
