Kepa determined not to give up his place even if Mendy arrived

Kepa Arrizabalaga (25) is not decided to give up his place in Chelsea’s goal. According to Telegraph, the Spanish goalkeeper wants to fight to keep his starting status despite the club’s active search to strengthen this sector of play. The Blues are looking very closely at the Rennais, Edouard Mendy (28).

Rennes would have refused an offer according to the Telegraph

According to the Telegraph, they would have even made a first offer refused by the Breton club. West France argues for its part that the Rennes leaders have not yet received anything from the London leaders who have simply expressed their interest.

A transfer from the Senegalese international still seems far from being settled, especially since he still has three years of contract with the Breton club he joined last summer from Reims against four million euros . He was named vice-captain by Julien Stéphan, who really appreciates the player.

If he joined London, Mendy would therefore have to face Kepa’s fierce determination to keep his place. The former Athletic Bilbao player has become the most expensive goalkeeper in the world by joining Chelsea against 80 million euros in 2018. Relegated to the bench by Frank Lampard for the last two games of the season, Kepa could leave in case of a substantial offer since Chelsea would like to recover part of their stake. Which seems complicated. Petr Cech, technical supervisor, also wanted to reassure Kepa by ensuring that the club would maintain his confidence.
