Chelsea loan Kepa Arrizabalaga to Bournemouth

Chelsea Football Club has extended Kepa Arrizabalaga’s deal to June 2026.

According to a post on Fabrizio Romano’s X handle on Thursday, the goalkeeper will join Bournemouth on loan for the remainder of the season.

Bournemouth will contribute to salary, but with no buy option in the contract.

Kepa spent last season on loan at Real Madrid and, unsurprisingly, seemed to do everything in his power to join them for good. Alas, that was not meant to be. So it’s Bournemouth instead, linking up with fellow Basque Country-born manager Andoni Iraola.
