Chelsea Back in Contact Over Experienced Barcelona Star
Chelsea have reignited their pursuit of an experienced goalkeeper currently at Barcelona, as transfer talks intensify ahead of the new season. The West London club has reportedly renewed contact with the player's camp after previous negotiations failed to materialize earlier this summer.
With Barcelona signing Joan García and also recruiting Wojciech Szczęsny as backup, the veteran is now facing a challenge to retain his first-team spot. Reports indicate that the Spanish giants are even considering terminating his contract to offload his €18 million salary.
Manchester United and other European clubs have shown interest, but Chelsea are believed to be the most proactive. After missing out on Mike Maignan following a failed £12.6 million bid, Chelsea are determined to land a high-caliber presence in goal.
The club’s goalkeeping issues are no secret, with Kepa Arrizabalaga and Robert Sánchez both struggling to meet expectations. Bringing in a seasoned professional could restore the defensive confidence reminiscent of the Petr Čech and Courtois era.
Sources say the player has not yet made a final decision, but with his national team ambitions and Barcelona’s changing landscape, a Premier League switch could become more likely. Chelsea fans should expect further developments as the club pushes to strengthen its spine before pre-season kicks off.
