According to the Telegraph , Bournemouth are considering buying Kepa from Chelsea. The Spanish goalkeeper is likely to leave "The Blues" for just £5 million next summer. This is the 1-year early release clause when Kepa signed with Chelsea in the past. Previously, the 30-year-old goalkeeper extended his contract until June 2026.

Kepa is currently on loan at Bournemouth for a year. In the 2024/25 season, the Spanish goalkeeper has made 22 appearances in the Premier League and has become a mainstay of the club.

On March 17, Daily Mail reported that Chelsea will sell at least 8 players in the summer transfer window. These are names that are not in coach Enzo Maresca's plans, including Kepa.

If Kepa leaves, Chelsea will accept a heavy loss. In 2018, this goalkeeper joined Stamford Bridge for a record fee of 71 million pounds. This 30-year-old goalkeeper was expected to become one of the world's leading goalkeepers. But pressure and consecutive mistakes caused Kepa to lose his starting position at Chelsea.

Bournemouth also has a plan B if they cannot buy Kepa. The team will turn to negotiate with Liverpool to welcome reserve goalkeeper Caoimhin Kelleher to play.
