Chelsea are facing competition from newly-promoted Premier League duo Newcastle and Brighton to land Willy Caballero this summer.
Caballero’s agent Adrian Faija revealed to Goal how he and his client were approaching their summer business and made reference to how Newcastle and Brighton have expressed an interest.
The experienced Argentinian goalkeeper’s fate was all but sealed with City signing Ederson in a blockbuster deal from Benfica just weeks ago, meaning that he was no longer required at the Etihad Stadium.
However, this isn’t set to stop him in his hopes of remaining in England and competing in the top flight.
We have some offers from England, he wants to stay in England. Newcastle is cold but pretty and the beaches in Brighton are beautiful as well and easily accessible from London.
While Chelsea is undoubtedly an attractive proposition, he’s unlikely to find regular game time behind Thibaut Courtois, so a move to one of the lesser sides could certainly be a possibility for Caballero.
The Blues are keen to tie up a deal for the experienced shot stopper as they look to secure a reliable backup, with Asmir Begovic having left for Bournemouth.
