Chelsea's spirits have definitely been lifted. Things are back on track, they have a shot at qualifying for the Champions League and the FA Cup final will be played against Arsenal in a few days. Not content with that, they are creating a great squad that they want to crown with a goalkeeper of the highest level.
The intention to get rid of Kepa as long as Jan Oblak could be brought in already emerged days ago. With that door closed by Diego Simeone, now, 'Mundo Deportivo' says, the sights have been set on Ter Stegen.
It is undoubtedly another complicated operation. Not only do Barca not want to sell one of their untouchables, but it is a fact that they are in the process of renewing his contract, which ends in 2022.
There is not much hope that the operation with one of the two goalkeepers can be done, but it makes clear the change in the club's mindset, even despite the economic crisis.
There are the signings of Ziyech and Timo Werner, as well as the negotiations for Kai Havertz. In addition, the role of young people like Reece James, Mount, Abraham and Hudson-Odoi has grown with Frank Lampard, so Chelsea want 20-21 to return them to the highest level of competitiveness, both in England and in European competitions.
