However, a fresh twist has now emerged regarding Kepa's future.
According to reliable Turkish journalist **_[Yagiz Sabuncuoglu](https://x.com/yagosabuncuoglu/status/1936794293466701874?s=46)_**, Galatasaray have made contact over a potential deal for the Chelsea shot-stopper.
Arsenal are still understood to be leading the race for the Spain international, but the Turkish giants have reportedly enquired about his situation.
While a move to Arsenal is said to be agreed in principle, Kepa's final decision could prove decisive. It remains to be seen whether Galatasaray can tempt him to make the switch to Istanbul instead.
