Bournemouth Negotiates Loan for Kepa Arrizabalaga

Bournemouth are negotiating a loan deal for Chelsea goalkeeper Kepa Arrizabalaga, who is currently training away from the first team due to being surplus to requirements. The 29-year-old, who spent last season on loan at Real Madrid, would need to extend his contract with Chelsea, which expires in 2025, before the loan can proceed. His high wages, estimated at £200,000 per week, pose a challenge for the deal. Chelsea aims to offload multiple players before the transfer deadline, including Kepa, Romelu Lukaku, and Trevoh Chalobah. Bournemouth is also considering other goalkeeping options, such as Arsenal's Aaron Ramsdale. Fans have expressed frustration over another potential loan move, preferring a permanent exit for Kepa.
