The center back’s contract with Fulham expires at the end of the month, and according to Romano, he will then finalize a transfer to Chelsea. Fulham and Chelsea are both located in West London.

After spending time on loan with West Bromwich Albion and Blackburn Rovers, the 26-year-old transferred to the Cottagers in 2020 from Manchester City.

After that, he made over 130 appearances for Fulham in all competitions and was an integral part of Marco Silva’s team last season, but the club and defender could not agree on a contract extension.

As a result, he will leave Craven Cottage at the month’s conclusion and travel the short distance to join with the Blues.

Upon his arrival at Chelsea, Adarabioyo will face competition for a starting position in Maresca’s squad from players such as Axel Disasi, Benoit Badiashile, and Levi Colwill.

The goalkeeper is scheduled to meet with the new manager, Enzo Maresca, and reports indicate that Kepa Arrizabalaga “could make unlikely return to Chelsea this summer.”

Reportedly, Kepa Arrizabalaga will meet with Enzo Maresca, Chelsea’s new manager, to discuss his future with the club.

When Thibaut Courtois, a mainstay in Real Madrid’s goaltending position, tore his anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) and missed the bulk of the 2017–18 season, Arrizabalaga was brought in on a season-long loan.

As the season went on, the goalkeeper fell to third choice behind Andriy Lunin after failing to make an impression at the Bernabeu.Kepa became the most expensive goalkeeper of all time in 2018 when he signed a deal with the blues for £72 million. His contract only has one year left.

Madrid is reportedly willing to keep him on loan for another year or let him go for free, according to The Sun. Maresca’s return to Stamford Bridge is possible now that he’s here, but the Spaniard wants assurances of playing time before he returns.

When Kepa gets back from vacation later this month, we’ll need to have productive conversations about it.The insider informed the Sun that “everything has been put on hold for a couple of weeks” due to the uncertainty surrounding Chelsea’s next boss.

In addition to winning the Champions League, Kepa aimed to capitalize on his LaLiga, Spanish Supercup, and other victories.
