The deal has broken the previous goalkeeper transfer record set by Liverpool, who got Brazilian Alisson Becker of Roma for 65 million pounds, last month. Kepa, who played his first international game with Spanish football team Ponferradina, won the 2012 European Championship with Spain’s under-19 team before making his senior debut in 2017.
“It’s very important decision for me, for my career, and also for my personal life. So many things attracted me to the club, all the titles the club has won, the other players, the city, the English Premier League. It’s an accumulation of things, and I am very glad Chelsea has decided to trust me and to take me in as well,” goal.com quoted Kepa, as saying.
