The situation with Chelsea and Edouard Mendy has dragged on much longer than many fans may have hoped, so it looks like Kepa will get another chance between the sticks this weekend.
That is an issue because it’s Liverpool that he’ll play against, and he was at fault from Brighton’s goal earlier in the week.
There’s a real chance that a poor showing this weekend will force Chelsea to pay a bit extra just to get the deal done with Rennes, but it’s clear that the player already has his heart set on the move after he said goodbye to his teammates:
Édouard Mendy said goodbye to his Rennes teammates today, according to L'Équipe, but still no final agreement between SRFC & Chelsea.

That’s the kind of thing that you only do when you’re confident that a move is going to go ahead, and all signs still point to this happening.
There’s no indication that Chelsea are actively looking at an alternative, and the reality is that playing Kepa for a full season would completely undermine their transfer business this summer.
There’s no way that Chelsea can’t afford to meet Rennes’ demands, it just sounds like a case of arguing over the final details and trying to save a few million here and there.
The performance against Liverpool might determine how quickly Chelsea try to get this wrapped up, but it still seems inevitable that the deal will be done.
i don’t need Edouard Mendy to arrival Chelsea this season, while we have two great goalkeepers kepa & willy caballero, in advisible just reject it to save few millions, willy and kepa is enough for us
You’re not serious, upon all the goals kepa concided bro, you must be joke. ????????
Kepe is a disappointment. His confidence is completely gone. Every shot fire at him ends up in the net. Any one who says Chelsea doesn’t need to replace Kepe, is not a true fan of Chelsea fc.
And a big joker at best, kepa is leaking to many goals which demoralise any efforts for goals by the players, we can’t be sure of protecting a lead with kepa on the sticks
bro forget that person,he be anti-chelsea
Dont mind dat fool if mendy arrives he should go ahead and kill himsef
Thank you bro
No, CFC need a new GK desperately or they will not maintain their place in the Champions League.
You’re on booze ni**a
I wonder if truely you are a Chelsea fan
So after all the clueless goals he concede last season and the one against Brighton u still want us to continue with him
Hmmmm this is pure wickedness
you are pointless Bro!
youre an idiot
You serious, Kepa has been useless between the sticks. My 5 year old could do better…..lol
Nazifi i dont realy agree…if you’v seen da game wit b&h you’l see dat his morale is low,willy(inconsistency is d fear)
Try mendy
Bro u no wel at all
NO NEED TO AGUE AMYTHING ON KEPA, CHANGE HIM OR RISK YOUR JOB, LAMPARD.
Chelsea please be fast with the transfer we need a new catcher for sunday game.
We need new keeper, but for me not mendy, we sombody like donaroma of ac milan or nik pope
YES
Mendy is okay
Mendy is the right man for the job, else Lampard may just be putting his job on the line. Chelsea owner can be very ruthless with coaches when expectations are not met.
Chelsea is delaying a lot signing Mendy when they know that Kepa is no longer capable of stoping any short unless they don’t want to be in the top four
Mendy or not change kepa and bring in Chelsea ladies kepa
we need a new and a nice keeper that will be helping us out
Kepa is not enough for this season, he needs someone to compete with him, and Mendy is the right person check their stats and see
Keoa useless himself we need menfy period,
Calamity kepa: Chelsea 1-3 Liverpool
They should just level Kepa his a best in Europe okey guys relex give him some time when chelsea get good defender’s like Thiago Silva and you see the difference
Mendy is needed but kepa must remain
Mendy is good enough but they should just give kepa some time before if they want to sing Mendy then they sing him and give him to long
we need the short stopper urgently or else lampard would lose job because of jocking in selections also
Keppa is not good enough he need competition in oder to improve
HMM, DESPERATELY CHELSEA NEED KEPA REPLACEMENT, IF NOT TOP 4WILL NOT BE EAZY O.
Yeah i think u all make points, but i tink the deal has already placed, if not we should have moved 4pope or gigi rumma.
Chelsea need to change the Kp urgently, kepa has let us down a lot. Protect your job Frank.
Gk needed but not mendy, somebody like gigi donarumma,nick pope or andre onana
Why not onana of ajax rader?
Leave kepa, concede about 53 goals this season and i switch my support to John Terry’s Aston Villa.
As chelsea has lost chances with jan oblak,mendy is the last option for lampard, let it not look as if he spent a lot of millions for nothing
Chelsea, will not do the transfer on time until they conceded 5 nil against any other Team..
Chelsea owner is desperate to see what lampard we take home for him else lampard tell the rest and without mendy lampard risk his job and brought shame to chelsea.
What we need right now is a keeper and not a kepa. Kept will bounce back but needs a new signing that will take the present pressure at a time that he is going through some serious psychological and emotional difficulty. They could as well loan him out to a club in Spain to regain himself.
Kepa can still do it but he need someone to compete with
weneed him pls
kepa’s problem is press tempering into his confidence finish
I do like kepa in person but his performance is not encouraging at all and I believe with Mendy it will both the club and kepa him self for kepa’s problem is over confidence
All we want as a real Chelsea fans, is to sign Mendy…..kepa is flop
need new keeper but not mendy
Why all this negative rubbish, just get on with the ‘Job In Hand’,that’s ‘Beating Liverpool ‘Today’, it’s allway’s the same thing, i do not care about liverpool or any one else for that matter,just Chelsea beating Liverpool!!!
