Al-Nassr and Cristiano Ronaldo’s rivals Al-Ittihad have reportedly made an official offer for Chelsea goalkeeper Kepa Arrizabalaga. Providing an update on the situation, journalist Rudy Galetti wrote on X:
“Al-Ittihad sent an official bid to Kepa: a long-term contract with a salary of €7m/y. The club is waiting for a response from the GK.”
“Talks are underway also with Chelsea, who consider him out of the plans: contacts with PIF will continue.”

The Spain international is out of favor at Stamford Bridge and spent the entirety of the previous campaign on loan at Real Madrid. However, it wasn’t a successful stint, making just 13 starts in La Liga.
With competition for minutes in west London, a move away for the 29-year-old would be ideal. To date, he’s made 163 appearances across competitions for Chelsea, keeping 59 clean sheets. Kepa has won the UEFA Champions League and Europa League once each, among other honors with his current employers.
