Breaking News: Brilliant. A Chelsea athlete has declined an offer to relocate to Saudi Arabia.

A Chelsea player appears to be reluctant to relocate to Saudi Arabia this summer, despite the Saudi Pro League’s interest.

Last year, Chelsea was able to engage in some business with Saudi Arabian clubs by selling Kalidou Koulibaly and Edouard Mendy to Al-Hilal and Al-Ahli, respectively.

Koulibaly encountered significant difficulties during his tenure at Chelsea, ultimately departing for Al-Hilal after only one season in west London.

Additionally, N’Golo Kante departed England for Saudi Arabia to join Al-Ittihad, in addition to the central defender and Mendy.

At present, it appears that only one Chelsea player will be relocating to the Saudi Pro League.

Kepa Arrizabalaga declines to participate in the Saudi Pro League.
Kepa Arrizabalaga has declined a transfer to Saudi Arabia due to his desire to remain with Real Madrid.

That is the assertion made by journalist Simon Phillips. He stated on his Substack that Kepa Arrizabalaga has declined a transfer to Saudi Arabia at this time, as he is currently awaiting a move to Real Madrid, which is his preferred destination.

However, if Real Madrid does not return for Kepa, he will be compelled to contemplate a transfer to the Saudi Pro League.

No space is available for him in Enzo Maresca’s squad. Robert Sanchez and Djordje Petrovic are already in the possession of the Blues, and Chelsea may acquire a new custodian prior to the conclusion of the transfer window.

Absence of enthusiasm for Kepa Arrizabalaga
At present, Kepa appears to be failing to generate significant interest, as it appears that the sole viable alternative is to relocate to Saudi Arabia.

Certainly, Real Madrid has the opportunity to make a play for the Spaniard, who spent the previous season at the Santiago Bernabeu.

Nevertheless, he has not made a significant effort to entice potential suitors, particularly those from the Premier League.

In a column for Chelsea’s official website, the legendary Petr Cech praised Kepa as “brilliant” following a successful run of form. However, it is evident that his performances have not persuaded a significant number of other parties.

Additionally, his salary of £150,000 per week, as reported by Spotrac, will not enable him to depart Stamford Bridge this summer.
