Kepa Arrizabalaga has dropped for Blues last two league matches with Leicester City and Man United. There have been various reports suggesting the English manager no longer relies on the Spaniard and the London club could be looking to bring in a new shot-stopper in the summer.
Udinese’s Juan Musso has reportedly emerged as one of the main targets along with Ajax goalkeeper André Onana. Regarding Onana, Sport explains Barcelona are interested in Cameroon international.
They view him as a backup for Marc-André ter Stegen because last summer’s signing, Neto, hasn’t convinced the Camp Nou leaders.
It’s claimed Andre will leave Ajax in the summer and Blaugrana president Josep Maria Bartomeu has already held talks with him during the Ballon d’Or gala. Any approach from the La Liga winners to sign the 23-year-old shot-stopper will see them face obstacles.
Ajax have set €40m as a starting point for talks. The other problem for Blaugrana is Chelsea. According to the report, London giants are the ‘main favourite’ to sign the Ajax footballer. The west London club are set to get rid of Kepa and are willing to ‘push hard’ for Onana.
Sport also states Man United and Paris Saint-Germain are candidates, but they have David de Gea and Keylor Navas respectively as their first-choice keepers. Chelsea have excellent consequences in the Premier League this campaign as they are in a fourth place in the table.
London club signed Mateo Kovacic from Real Madrid and Christian Pulisic from Borussia Dortmund recently. Blues heavily linked with Aston Villa playmaker Jack Grealish and Bournemouth centre-back Jadon Sancho.
