Live broadcast on August 20th. According to AS, the 29-year-old Kepa is currently in a dilemma of having no ball to play, because Chelsea now has 7 goalkeepers, and other giants already have their own number one goalkeeper.

Chelsea currently has as many as 7 goalkeepers, which means some people need to find a way out before the transfer window closes. In the first round of the new Premier League season, Maresca sent Robert Sanchez as the starter, and the substitute was Jorgensen, who was introduced this summer for 24 million euros.

Kepa knows that he has little future at Chelsea. He joined Real Madrid on loan last season, but ultimately failed to compete with Lunin. Now Kepa faces the same problem. All the major European clubs already have their starting goalkeepers. It seems that only Liverpool is interested in signing a goalkeeper, and their main target is Mamadashvili.

Kepa's ability is still recognized, but his salary and transfer fee will be an obstacle for him to leave. Perhaps leaving on loan is a good way out. Just like last season, Kepa may need to accept the status of the second goalkeeper.

In August 2018, Chelsea spent a huge transfer fee of 80 million euros to introduce Kepa from Athletic Bilbao, but in the 2020/21 season, Kepa lost his position as the main goalkeeper. In the 2022/23 season, Kepa became the main player again, but then Chelsea introduced Robert Sanchez.

Last season, Kepa was loaned to Real Madrid, but lost the competition for position with Lunin and had to sit on the bench in the second half of the season. Currently, Kepa's transfer value is only 12 million euros.
