Serie A giants Juventus are rumoured to be keeping tabs on Chelsea shot-stopper Kepa Arrizabalaga with a potential move in the offing for the next summer’s transfer window.
Kepa has played second fiddle to the Senelgse Edouard Mendy at Stamford Bridge since the summer of 2020 and speculation is rife that the former Atletic Bilbao man is seeking a move elsewhere to further his opportunities on the pitch.
With Wojciech Szczesny failing to inspire confidence between the sticks at the Allianz Stadium early on this new season, Juventus are backed to scout the market for reinforcements to replace the Poland international.
Reports from Fichajes suggest that Juventus manager Massimiliano Allegri is in the chase for Kepa’s signature but will be prioritising a transfer only next summer despite the window reopening upon the turn of the year.
Juventus’ domestic rivals Lazio could pose a challenge to their plans of bringing in Kepa with the ex-Chelsea boss Maurizio Sarri, now in charge of Lazio, understood to be planning a reunion with his former player whom he had signed in a mega-money move three summers ago.
