The movements in the world of international football continue in full celebration of the Euro. One of them, which at the moment has no official status, places a former Athletic player in a Calcio team. There, if the operation was carried out, he would meet again with the first coach who had just left the discipline of Lezama.
Kepa Arrizabalaga, the protagonist in question, is on the list of potential players for Lazio, a team that has just hired Sarri for its bench. The Italian club, according to certain information from Calcio himself, intends to reach an agreement with Chelsea to obtain the loan of the Biscayan goalkeeper in exchange for paying half of his token. Since Mendy's arrival at the English team's goal, the role of the former Athletic goalkeeper has been reduced to that of a mere substitute with both Lampard first and Tuchel later.
Sarri and Kepa starred in one of the most commented actions a couple of seasons ago in world football when they were both at Chelsea. The goalkeeper refused to be substituted with four minutes to go to end the extra time of the League Cup final against City while the coach waited on the sideline with Willi Caballero to make the change.
“It was a big misunderstanding. I understood that I had an injury, I realized a few minutes later that I could play. I wanted to put Caballero on the field because I thought Kepa was in no condition and Kepa just wanted to tell me that I could play. He was right, but I think he put it in a bad way. I knew (it was there to play) when the doctor told me later, ”Sarri explained then.
Kepa came to Chelsea from Athletic in August 2018 previous payment of the 80 million of its clause. The goalkeeper signed as 'blue' until 2025. The payment for his transfer is still the most expensive in history as far as goalkeepers are concerned.
