Transfer talks between Real Madrid and Chelsea

In the past few weeks, Chelsea have been trying to sign a new goalkeeper and they have identified Real Madrid goalkeeper Andryi Lunin. The Los Blancos side are demanding a transfer fee of €30 for the Ukrainian goalkeeper. This is certainly a high transfer fees for Chelsea because the Ukrainian goalkeeper is 30 years old.

Chelsea are not willing to match the asked valuation. As an alternative, they are proposing a swap deal to Real Madrid. It is being said that the Blues want Andryi Lunin from Real Madrid. If this happens, they can let go spanish goalkeeper Kepa Arizabalaga to join the Los Blancos.

According to caughtoffside, Kepa is keen for a return to Santiago Bernabeu. On top of that, he is also ready to accept a lower salary than the present one. Not only that, he will be joining the Los Blancos as a second-choice keeper along with Thibaut Courtois.

Possibility of the transfer

At this moment, both Chelsea and Real Madrid are trying to reach a conclusion over this deal. Negotiations are progressing in a positive manner. It seems that the deal can happen because Kepa wants to leave Stamford Bridge and Real Madrid are searching for a backup goalkeeper.

Under the management of Maurizio Sarri, Chelsea bought Kepa Arizabalaga for €72m from Athletic Bilbao. After that he has failed to justify his hefty price tag in all competitions. He won some major trophies with Chelsea such as UEFA Champions League, UEFA Super Cup, but the mistakes he made, created deep scars in his Chelsea career.

On the other side, fans are excited to see Real Madrid goalkeeper Andryi Lunin in a Chelsea shirt. In 2023-2024 season, Lunin played most of the games for Real Madrid because Thibaut Courtois was suffering from leg injury. The Ukrainian goalkeeper flourished in Ancelotti’s system.

He helped Real Madrid to win some important games. On top of that, the Real Madrid player is a trusted and experienced goalkeeper who can block almost every attack. Chelsea are in need of someone like that. So, the Real Madrid keeper will be a perfect option for Chelsea.

Chelsea are known for their defense. In the past, Chelsea used to play with legendary defenders and goalkeepers which includes John Terry, Peter Cech, Marcel Desailly, Ricardo Carvalho, Gary Cahill, Cezar Azpiliqueta, Branslav Ivanovic, and many more. The fans are expecting that Andryi Lunin will be a solid addition to Chelsea backline.

At this moment, the Blues need a goalkeeper who can distribute the ball perfectly and can keep the backline stable.

Under the new Chelsea boss Enzo Maresca, Andryi Lunin will thrive at the Stamford Bridge. He can become the number one choice for the Italian manager.

At this moment, Chelsea have Robert Sanchez as their number one choice.

Kepa to Real Madrid

Last season, Kepa Arizabalaga spent most of the games in bench. In the upcoming season, same thing will happen with him because Thibaut Courtois is returning from injury. This will be a massive boost for Real Madrid because the Belgian goalkeeper plays a crucial role in their defense.

Kepa have experience of different tournaments. He can share his valuable strategy with his teammates. That is why he will be a quality addition to the Real Madrid squad.

For example, we saw how Kepa helped Real Madrid to win against Manchester City in the tie-breaker. Since then the Real Madrid fans are in love with him.

The fans want Kepa Arizabalaga because he is an experienced goalkeeper which can certainly help his teammates.
