CHELSEA goalkeeper Kepa Arrizabalaga is reportedly approaching a transfer to Napoli.
But it has been claimed that the Blues will still have to pay 75 percent of the Spaniard’s weekly wages.
The 27 year old may leave Stamford Bridge this summer with the number 1 pick of Edouard Mendy Thomas Tuchel.
Earlier in the week it was mentioned how Napoli watched a loan with the option to make the deal permanent.
And according to Gianluca Di Marziothe Serie A side is close to finding a deal with Chelsea for the ex-Athletic Bilbao ace.
The transfer guru has stated that the West London club will demand that Luciano Spalletti’s side pay a £1.25m loan.
And the Italian reporter has insisted that Chelsea will pay 75 percent of Arrizabalaga’s £150,000 a week salary.
Kepa is desperate to play regularly in his bid to be named in Luis Enrique’s World Cup roster.
Napoli are looking for a new goalkeeper after David Ospina left to join Saudi Arabian club Al Nassr on a free transfer.
In what is expected to be a busy week for Chelsea, Timo Werner could follow Kepa out the door.

The German attacker has agreed to a 50 percent pay cut to return to RB Leipzig on loan.
Werner struggled to form in his two years in England, with the player failing to show his deadly prowess in front of goal, as he did in the Bundesliga.
Meanwhile, SunSport has exclusively revealed how Ruben Loftus-Cheek attracts interest from Crystal Palace.
Another loan deal is on the horizon for the midfielder, who enjoyed a successful spell at Selhurst Park in the 2017-18 season.
