The 28-year-old who still holds the record for being the most expensive goalkeeper in history when the Blues signed him from Athletic Club in the summer of 2018 for €80 million, is expected to leave the club this window amid interest from two European giants, Bayern Munich and Real Madrid

The race for Kepa’s signature

Despite the exit of Ferland Mendy to the Saudi Arabia League and the arrival of a coaching staff that trusted him, Kepa’s future at Stamford Bridge remained up in the air.

According to Relevo, he is of keen interest to former Chelsea boss Thomas Tuchel, now at Bayern Munich, and the German tactician has pushed for his signature over the course of the transfer window.

However, it is believed Chelsea are uninterested in a permanent sale of the Basque shot-stopper, causing the deal to hit a snag.
