​Napoli move for Chelsea keeper Kepa hits wage roadblock

Spanish shot-stopper Kepa Arrizabalaga is set to be offered a route out of Chelsea this summer.

The no.2 at the Blues does not want another year of playing second fiddle to Edouard Mendy.

Chelsea are also eager to get his £190,000-a-week wages off their books.

According to the Evening Standard, Napoli are the club with the strongest interest in Kepa this summer.

He is still the world's most expensive keeper, signed for £71.6 million in 2018.

Chelsea could replace Kepa this summer, as they are in talks with 18-year-old Chicago Fire goalkeeper Gabriel Slonina.
