Chelsea desperate to offload another £150,000-per-week Chelsea star after latest transfer decision
According to reports, Chelsea FC is prepared to lose a lot of money on goalkeeper Kepa Arrizabalaga.
GiveMeSport reports that the Spanish goalkeeper, who signed a record-breaking £72 million contract to join the team from Athletic Bilbao six years ago, may be leaving Stamford Bridge for as little as £15 million.
The previous season, Arrizabalaga—who makes £150,000 a week—was on loan at Real Madrid.
However, a return to the Spanish giants seems unlikely with Andriy Lunin signing a new contract and Thibaut Courtois set to return from injury.
Despite the setback, there remains interest in the 29-year-old from the Saudi Pro League.
Chelsea are keen to finalize a deal before the transfer window closes, potentially accepting a £57 million loss on their initial investment.
The situation underscores the club’s determination to move on from Arrizabalaga, who has had a turbulent tenure at Chelsea since his high-profile arrival.
