Chelsea goalkeeper Kepa Arrizabalaga is being pursued by Al-Ittihad, a powerhouse in the Saudi Pro League, for the next season. Kepa is reportedly on Al-Ittihad’s want list as the club searches for a new world-class goalkeeper this summer, according to Rudy Galetti. Kepa, a Spanish international, is now a free agent after Chelsea decided he wasn’t going anywhere.
Before joining Chelsea, Kepa gained recognition with Athletic Club Bilbao’s first squad. Things have changed for him since he was an important player for Chelsea in the past. Kepa loaned out to Real Madrid last year. It was Kepa who was called in to replace Thibaut Courtois after his ACL rupture. While he was on the field for Real Madrid, Andriy Lunin was able to establish himself as the starting goalkeeper until Thibaut Courtois was fit again.
Al-ittihad Want To Sign The Out Of Favor Chelsea Player
Chelsea no longer want to keep Kepa in the future. Chelsea is prepared to sell him at the end of his contract, which is one year away. Although Lunin’s destiny determines the likelihood of a return to Real Madrid, it is not impossible. Despite Real Madrid’s offer of a new contract, Lunin is still unsure about accepting the position as backup to Thibaut Courtois.
While Kepa waits for Real Madrid, interest has been shown from other clubs. After bringing in a slew of superstars, Al-Ittihad is looking to shore up its defense by bringing in a new goalie. Their first choice goalkeeper, Bento of Brazil, is in negotiations with them, but they have also contacted Kepa. After a loan stint with Real Madrid, Kepa proved he can be an asset to Al-Ittihad’s team. How these talks progress is something to see.

Renato Veiga is a talented defensive midfielder. Reports indicate that Chelsea have agreed to terms with FC Basel to acquire him. According to Fabrizio Romano, the Blues will spend between fourteen and fifteen million euros to get the talent from Portugal. Veiga is another young player that Chelsea has signed. They consider him as an asset to their team.
Since it seems that Chelsea have finalized the signing of Renato Veiga, Chelsea supporters may be wondering about him. The 20-year-old, who will be 21 this month, has become famous for his versatility on the field. To the Blues, he is an invaluable asset.
Putting money into young players is a recent policy for Chelsea. This transfer fits nicely with that. They seem to have added Veiga to their list of recent acquisitions after making many similar agreements. A comparison between the €3 million estimate by Transfermarkt. The €14–15 million Chelsea is reportedly paying for Veiga raises concerns about potential overpayment.
As a left-footed player, Veiga is versatile and can play wherever in the backline, with the exception of right back. He plays the midfield defensive position mostly. If Chelsea is serious about moving Ben Chilwell, they may decide they need to shore up their left defense. With Veiga’s arrival, they may finally have their left-footed defender they’ve been looking for.
