Chelsea are hoping to sell Kepa Arrizabalaga and Romelu Lukaku to Saudi clubs in the summer transfer window

As per Euro Sport, Chelsea is set to enter another transfer window in the summer, and the names of players who are set to be offloaded keep growing. The Blues are looking to find suitors for Kepa Arrizabalaga and Romelu Lukaku.

It’s no surprise that Chelsea is looking to offload Kepa, especially considering his lack of playing time at Real Madrid and the club’s acquisition of other goalkeeping options. Withthe Spaniard falling down the pecking order at Los Blancos and Chelsea having secured replacements, it makes sense for both parties to seek a transfer.

Similarly, Lukaku’s future at Chelsea seems uncertain, with reports suggesting that the club is willing to part ways with the striker. Lukaku has struggled to replicate his best form since returning to Stamford Bridge and could be deemed surplus to requirements as Chelsea look to reshape their squad.

As Chelsea prepares for the summer transfer window, these potential departures indicate the club’s intentions to streamline its squad and possibly make room for new signings. It’ll be interesting to see how the transfer market unfolds for both Kepa and Lukaku and how Chelsea navigates these moves to strengthen its squad for the future.


It’s clear that Lukaku has found his scoring touch at AS Roma, enjoying a prolific season with 18 goals across all competitions. However, his future at Chelsea appears uncertain, with the club looking to offload him permanently in the upcoming summer transfer window.

Similarly, Kepa’s prospects for a permanent move seem challenging, especially considering his decline since leaving Chelsea. Despite his struggles, finding a buyer for the 29-year-old might prove to be a difficult task for the Blues.

Chelsea’s focus on offloading players before making new signings reflects their financial constraints, requiring them to balance the books before pursuing further additions to the squad. The club’s approach in the transfer market will be crucial as they navigate these challenges and seek to strengthen their squad for the future.

Chelsea wants to sell Kepa Arrizabalaga to Saudi clubs.

Kepa has found himself as an unused player at Real Madrid, with Andriy Lunin taking over the starting goalkeeper role. Real Madrid’s decision regarding the shot-stopper’s future will likely depend on various factors, including Thibaut Courtois’ injury situation and their assessment of Kepa’s performance and contribution to the team.

If Courtois’ injury proves to be significant or if Real Madrid’s coaching staff sees potential value in retaining Kepa as a backup option, they may opt to extend his loan for another season. Even if that were to be true, Chelsea are better off forcing a permanent solution to the issue.

Chelsea’s approach to the upcoming summer transfer window seems to be focused on offloading several players to generate significant revenue. The club’s intention to sell seven players indicates a strategic shift towards financial sustainability and compliance with regulatory requirements. The decisions made during this period will not only impact the club’s squad composition but also its financial stability and long-term competitiveness.
