Chelsea Preparing for Significant Departures
Regarding outgoings, the most significant story centers on Conor Gallagher. Tottenham Hotspur has long been interested in the England international, and recent rumors suggest that Ange Postecoglou’s side is preparing a bid for the midfielder. Additionally, Armando Broja has been linked with a move away from Chelsea, as the Albanian striker has struggled for consistent playing time. Everton is reportedly interested in the 22-year-old.
Another player set to leave is Romelu Lukaku. Chelsea is ready to cut their losses on the Belgian striker, who cost the club around £98 million but has failed to deliver upon his return to West London. AC Milan and Napoli are the front-runners to sign the 31-year-old.
Kepa Arrizabalaga’s Future in Limbo
Kepa Arrizabalaga’s future at Chelsea is also uncertain. According to Sport Witness, the Spanish press claims that Kepa is holding out for a move to Real Madrid, despite having an offer from a Saudi Arabian club. Al-Ittihad is reportedly planning a surprise move for the Spanish goalkeeper, and their proposal is said to be financially compelling.
Kepa spent last season on loan at Real Madrid, stepping in after Thibaut Courtois suffered a long-term injury. The 29-year-old made 20 appearances for Los Blancos in all competitions. He is currently waiting to see if Real Madrid’s Ukrainian goalkeeper, Andriy Lunin, will accept a new deal. If Lunin decides to leave, it could open the door for Kepa’s return to Madrid.
Decisions Await
Chelsea is actively working to facilitate Kepa’s departure from West London this summer. The decision now rests with Kepa: whether to follow the money to Saudi Arabia or hold out for his dream return to Real Madrid.
This summer’s transfer activity at Chelsea is shaping up to be as much about high-profile departures as it is about new arrivals. With key players like Gallagher, Broja, Lukaku, and Kepa potentially on their way out, Todd Boehly and the Chelsea management team face crucial decisions in reshaping the squad under Enzo Maresca’s leadership.
