Chelsea told price tag for Kepa Arrizabalaga alternative

Chelsea have reportedly been informed they must pay more than £30million in order to sign Rennes goalkeeper Edouard Mendy. The Blues have been linked with Mendy as competition for current No.1 Kepa Arrizabalaga. The Spaniard has failed to convince Frank Lampard that he can be the club’s first choice goalkeeper in the long term. Chelsea have been quite active in the transfer window this summer, already clinching deals for Timo Werner, Hakim Ziyech, Ben Chilwell, Thiago Silva and Malang Saar. According to the Telegraph Rennes have named their price for Mendy. The Ligue 1 club want more than £30million in order to part with the Senegal international. Chelsea reportedly had a £15million bid for Mendy previously turned down. Mendy is not the only goalkeeper Chelsea have been linked to this summer with reports suggesting that Ajax’s Andre Onana was also being considered. Source- talkSPORT
