Transfer news and rumours live chelsea eye ter stegen as kepa replacement
According to Transfer News and Rumors, Chelsea are eyeing Marc-André ter Stegen as a potential replacement for Kepa Arrizabalaga.
The German goalkeeper has been a mainstay at Barcelona for over a decade, and his impressive performances have caught the attention of Chelsea. With Kepa's inconsistent form and lack of confidence, the Blues are looking for a reliable and experienced goalkeeper to take over the number one spot.
Ter Stegen, 31, has won numerous titles with Barcelona, including four La Liga championships and two Champions League trophies. He has also been capped 24 times for Germany and has been praised for his exceptional shot-stopping, distribution, and leadership qualities.
Chelsea are believed to be willing to offer a significant transfer fee to secure Ter Stegen's services, potentially in the range of £50-60 million. However, Barcelona are likely to demand a higher fee, considering Ter Stegen's importance to the team and his contract, which runs until 2025.
It's worth noting that Ter Stegen has been linked with other clubs in the past, including Manchester City and Paris Saint-Germain, but Chelsea's interest is reportedly serious.
What do you think, Blues fans? Would you like to see Ter Stegen join the club as Kepa's replacement?
