It has come out of nowhere that Chelsea is rumoured to be finalizing their sixth summer move. This summer, the Blues have been active in the transfer market, as has been customary in recent seasons, even though they haven’t spent as much as they have in past years.
Chelsea may be closing their sixth summer transfer, and this one seems to be from out of nowhere. Although they haven’t spent as much as they have in previous years, the Blues have been active in the transfer market this summer, as has been the norm in prior seasons.
Despite the Ukrainian’s stellar season last year, Real Madrid is prepared to let him go. They will continue to back Thibaut Courtois, but if Lunin departs, they may also sign Kepa Arrizabalaga.

The Ukraine international was benched for the Champions League final in favour of Courtois despite turning in some excellent performances for Carlo Ancelotti’s team the previous season. Following a mistake in their 3-0 group stage loss to Romania, he was later benched by Ukraine at Euro 2024.
Chelsea, according to Fabrizio Romano, has not yet made a bid for Real, but The Telegraph notes that the Blues have found other targets who would fit Maresca’s tactical approach better. If Lunin does leave, Romano says, Real already has a backup plan in place, with Chelsea goalkeeper Kepa Arrizabalaga wanting to join them.
