Chelsea Rejects Transfer Bid for Keeper Kepa

Chelsea has rejected an initial offer from Saudi Arabian club Al-Ittihad for goalkeeper Kepa Arrizabalaga, who returned from a loan spell at Real Madrid. Talks are ongoing with Al-Ittihad and other potential suitors as Chelsea looks to offload the 29-year-old with one year left on his contract. Despite a successful loan spell in Spain, Chelsea is keen on finding a new destination for Arrizabalaga, who trained separately from the first team. The rejection of the initial offer reflects uncertainty about his future, with options including a return to Real Madrid. Chelsea's reinforcement in goalkeeping with new signings hints at a departure for Arrizabalaga, signaling the likely end of his time at Stamford Bridge.
