Chelsea put a £50m price-tag on Arrizabalaga
The blues have set a £50m price tag for the clubs goalkeeper, Kepa Arrizabalaga who has been linked with a move away from Stamford Bridge for a while now.
Arrizabalaga’s departure hit media houses once again on Sunday when Frank Lampard opted to play his second choice shot-stopper, Willy Caballero, against Wolves in their final match of the season.

Caballero kept a clean sheet in the 2-0 victory as the Blues ensured Champions League qualification.
According to the Daily Mail, Chelsea will not accept anything below £50m for Kepa, even though they bought him for £72m from Athletic Bilbao in 2018.
The paper adds that the Blues will also accept loan offers for the Spaniard, should the interested party agree to pay a large chunk of his salary.
Lampard is supposedly heading up Chelsea’s search for a new number one, with a recent report claiming that the Blues had narrowed their shortlist down to Ajax’s Andre Onana and Atletico Madrid’s Jan Oblak.
Chelsea play Arsenal next in the FA Cup Final, and with such rumors flying in the media, Lampard might just opt for Caballero again.
