Would he suit Flamengo? Arsenal put player up for ‘symbolic’ fee | OneFootball

Kepa is under contract with Arsenal (ENG) until June 2028

After winning the Premier League and finishing the Champions League as runners-up, Arsenal (ENG) began planning its squad for next season. As a result, the club has put Spanish goalkeeper Kepa up for sale for a value considered “symbolic” on the market. That way, the keeper could emerge as an option for Flamengo.

According to information from the Spanish newspaper “Diário AS,” Arsenal is asking for 5 million euros (around R$ 29 million at the current exchange rate) to negotiate the goalkeeper’s transfer. Therefore, the Spanish player is expected to leave the English team at the end of the season.

WHAT IS KEPA’S SITUATION?

Kepa is currently 31 years old and is under contract with Arsenal until June 2028. For the English club, the goalkeeper has made only 12 appearances. The player has also had spells at Chelsea (ENG), Real Madrid (ESP), and Bournemouth (ENG) throughout his career.

WILL A SPOT OPEN UP IN THE SQUAD?

Agustín Rossi has been a target for Besiktas (TUR) in recent weeks. The Turkish side is expected to submit an offer, and Flamengo could accept the deal depending on the figures involved. In addition, the Argentine has been criticized after defensive mistakes that resulted in goals conceded by the club.

Thus, if it needs to look for a new goalkeeper on the market, Flamengo has the possibility of finding an experienced name. It is worth noting that Kepa played alongside Jorginho at Chelsea. Together, the two won the Champions League with the London club.
