ANDhe financial year of Athletic has open doors beyond the rojiblanco day-to-day. The club’s coffers also play in other leagues and with players who no longer have anything to do with their discipline. This is the case of Kepa Arrizabalaga, who in August 2018 signed for Chelsea after the London entity paid the 80 million euros of his termination clause. The goalkeeper signed until 2025, but it is not clear that at the end of this campaign he will not pack his bags. The Chelsea has received interest from several clubs for the one from Ondarroa and in case of being transferred, its sale would be reversed at athletics.

This solidarity contribution will be made proportionally, based on the number of years the player has been registered with each club during the seasons between the ages of 12 and 23.”
The Daily Star has published this week that Newcastle have thrown the net about the Chelsea goalkeeper, who is valued at 60 million euros.

Kepa, likewise, appears on the agenda of clubs from other European leagues, although the The goalkeeper’s priority is to continue fighting for a place at Chelseawhere this campaign has made very good games every time Tuchel has resorted to his contest.
