Chelsea and Real Madrid begin talks over swap transfer of two key players

Premier League side Chelsea and La Liga giants Real Madrid have reportedly begun transfer talks over a swap deal for goalkeepers Kepa Arrizabalaga and Andriy Lunin.

The Blues are unwilling to pay a transfer fee for Lunin and have pitched the idea of a swap deal with Kepa, which has interested Los Blancos as the two clubs are locked in talks.

A potential solution that is currently being considered by both teams is a swap deal in which Kepa would permanently return to Santiago Bernabeu and Lunin would arrive at Stamford Bridge, according to AS.
