Chelsea have reportedly agreed to pay Athletic Bilbao £71.6 million for the signature of Kepa Arrizabalaga and make him the most expensive goalkeeper of all time, six months after he almost joined Real Madrid for a quarter of the fee.
The Guardian's Dominic Fifield wrote that Chelsea will pay Kepa's €80 million (£71.6 million) release clause, with incumbent No. 1 and Real Madrid target Thibaut Courtois having recently gone AWOL to force a transfer.
It's understood Kepa will fly to London on Wednesday and will beat the £67 million Liverpool paid for their new stopper Alisson earlier this summer.
