Kepa is the world’s most expensive keeper at £71.4milion and fears he the club could price him out of a transfer.

Reports in Spain suggest Valencia are keen on a loan deal for the former Athletic Bilbao stopper.

The LaLiga giants fear losing Holland stopper Jasper Cillessen to his old club Ajax.

If Chelsea do decide to cut their losses on Kepa, they have already lined up his replacement.

Borussia Dortmund keeper Roman Burki is linked with a £15m bargain move.

The Blues are banking on a cut-price deal as he only has one year left on his contract.

Burki, 29, has played more than 150 games for the Bundesliga club and is up for a Prem switch.

If Chelsea land Burki on the cheap they may decide to cut their loses on unsettled Kepa.
