Kepa Arrizabalaga

[!Hazard! 3,394]

Why aren't we going for Cillessen. Would cost no more than £30m and in this moment in time he's about on the same level as Kepa (5 years older though so that might chance one day).

🚨 last minute 🚨 informs @AlbertoPereiro in the newsletter of the 16:00h that he @OndaCero_es https://www.ondacero.es/directo/  will make effective tomorrow the payment of the clause of Kepa Arrizabalaga, which amounts to 80 million of euros

Could the board finally get the message and woken up? Shaping up to be a crazy 48 hours.

This is the squeeze happening, there arm is completely forced now with the TC situation, they cannot hang around, which is ideal.

So instead of Hazard sending the board into frenzy mode, it's Courtois who did it. If everything comes off, then we gotta thank him for being a bellend.

Man, could we actually be about to panic buy some actual good players?! Could it be?

Kepa + Kovacic and I'll feel great about our top 4 chances. Seeing transfer muppets on Twitter thinking we'd go after both Kovacic and Fekir. That ain't happening.

Hmm. I'd rather sign one of the very best GKs of the past three/four years in Oblak for €100m than a young, developing GK like Kepa for €80m.

I'll have to assume Oblak has no interest in joining Chels.

Why would he, TBH? He's at a stable club, consistently challenge for major honors and plays for a manager who is in control of everything.

and it we sell thibaut for 45M GBP (50M EUR), then the 80M EUR buyout fee for kepa doesn't sound quite as bad... really want this kid and the noises on twitter are positive on this for now 🤞

All true.

80 mil for a GK. I can't get used to that just yet.

A GK with so much to prove as well. Let's hope he turns out to be a good one.

Athletic Bilbao are in 'panic mode‘ and have given goalkeeper Kepa just 24 hours to make his mind up, with a tempting offer on the table from #Chelsea. [MARCA]

First team football and a big salary increase await Kepa at #Chelsea as he would be the immediate replacement for the Madrid-bound Courtois. [MARCA]

In terms of Athletic signing fresh goalkeeping cover of their own, there is a sense of relative calm given that Iago Herrerin would be promoted from the bench to the first team. MARCA]

Somebody seen him play and can report how good he is with the ball at his feet?

[Eidur the Spider 4,515]

The intention of the London club is that Kepa trains on Thursday under Sarri and that he could even make his debut on Saturday against Huddersfield. (MARCA) #CFC #Bilbao
