Sent on loan last season to Bournemouth, Kepa Arrizabalaga returned to London this summer and did not enter the plans of Chelsea, who sought to get rid of it. Under contract until June 2026, the porter benefits from a clause allowing him to leave against € 5.9 million. Arsenal, eager to enlist a new goalkeeper, had placed him at the top of his short-list to enlist him. And pending a transfer, the 30 -year -old Spaniard has just announced his departure from Chelsea on his social networks.
“After seven unforgettable years, the time has come to close a very special chapter of my life. Chelsea was my house, my family and the place where I grew up both as a footballer and as a person. I arrived full of dreams and I leave with unforgettable memories: titles like the Champions League, the Europa League, the UEFA Super Cup, the World Cup of clubs … But especially moments shared with incredible people on and outside the field. Now a new chapter begins, and I face it with the same passion and the same commitment as always. I go with a heart full of gratitude ”said the goalkeeper.
