Recently the whole football world has heard about an Argentinian goalkeeper. Kepa Arrizabalaga wanted at all costs to become a penalty kicker in the Carabao Cup finals and prevented his older colleague from climbing the pitch. The Spanish had to pay a fine for this behaviour and will probably see a few upcoming meetings from the reserve bench. This is a chance to prove your class for Caballero. Recently he has kept a clean account in the match against Tottenham. The activists of "The Blues" are in talks with the Argentinean about a new agreement.
Before the incident in the Carabao Cup finals, it was planned to extend his contract for another 12 months. However, due to such a professional approach to the whole situation and not causing any additional scandals, the management at Stamford Bridge wants to keep Caballero for longer. He is not only a great goalkeeper, but also a good friend, who can take care of the atmosphere in the locker room and is ready to help in any situation. Chelsea activists are still holding back the final decisions on the extension of their players' contracts. Much depends on whether "The Blues" will guarantee the possibility of performing in European cups. At the moment, they are in sixth place in the league table, with a loss of three points to fourth Arsenal. It is worth that Willy Caballero is not the only player whose contract expires in June this year. Gary Cahill, David Luiz and Mateo Kovacić are also waiting for the new contract.
Chelsea signed an agreement with Caballero in 2017 and the Stamford Bridge was transferred freely from Manchester City. Activists of "The Blues" took advantage of the option to extend the contract for another 12 months at the end of last season. Maurizio Sarri is very pleased with the attitude of the Argentinean. Asked at a press conference about who will stand in the goal for the match against Fulham, he answered:
Kepa is our first choice goalkeeper. But we're very happy with Willy, because we now know that he can show class in a very difficult match.
