Chelsea consider move on Barca keeper Marc-Andre ter Stegen, Arsenal and Manchester United fight for Willian
Chelsea are contemplating an ambitious move for Barcelona goalkeeper Marc-Andre ter Stegen, according to the Daily Telegraph.
It's no secret that the Blues are interested in replacing Kepa Arrizabalaga during the summer after a poor run of form throughout the campaign, with Frank Lampard considering the possibility of including Kepa in a deal that would see 28-year-old Ter Stegen make his way over to Stamford Bridge.
Barca aren't really interested in letting him go, and they're more invested in the idea of extending his contract -- which is set to expire in June 2022. For now, Chelsea are happy to sit back and see how those negotiations play out.
Among the other keepers linked as Kepa's successor are Atletico Madrid's Jan Oblak; Dean Henderson, who is on loan at Sheffield United from Manchester United, and Andre Onana of Ajax.

-Arsenal are ready to offer a new contract worth £250,000-a-week to Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, says the Daily Telegraph.
Aubameyang's deal expires in 2021 and the Gunners realise how important the Gabon striker is to their future plans.
-Arsenal are reportedly confident of beating Man United to the signing of Chelsea star Willian, according to ESPN Brasil's Bruno Vicari.
Willian's contract is due to expire on July 26 and Chelsea are only willing to offer the 31-year-old a new two-year deal, while he wants three.
As a result, the Gunners are keen to add him for nothing this summer and are evidently getting closer to an agreement.
-Real Madrid winger Lucas Vazquez is of interest to Tottenham, says Defensa Central.
Vazquez, 29, played at Real when Tottenham boss Jose Mourinho was there, but only in the reserve team.
-Aston Villa forward Jack Grealish has attracted plenty of attention and has been linked with a £60m move to Man United this summer.
-Zlatan Ibrahimovic says he has yet to be approached by AC Milan with a deal to remain at the club next season.
Ibrahimovic, 38, who has scored seven goals and set up four more in 15 league appearances since joining from LA Galaxy, is tied to Milan for the remainder of the season, with an option to extend his stay until June 2021.
Ibrahimovic told Sky Italia after scoring twice in his team's 2-1 win at Sassuolo on Tuesday: "I still have three games left and 10 days more, no-one has told me anything and I don't expect anything else."
-Paris Saint-Germain are ready to respond to Real Madrid's Kylian Mbappe interest with a bid for Vinicius Jr, newspaper Sport reports, saying the Brazilian winger is "an obsession" for PSG sporting director Leonardo.
Madrid are likely to move for Mbappe next summer when the 21-year-old will have just a year left on his contract in Paris. Vinicius has five years remaining on his Bernabeu deal and a prohibitive €700m release clause.
-Barcelona will analyse the future of Quique Setien once the season is over, according to Diario Sport. Setien is reportedly unlikely to continue at Barca next season with the club already looking at other options.
Former France and PSG coach Laurent Blanc is among those linked with the job. According to Sport, Blanc, 54, who is also a reported target of Valencia, would be eager to coach Barca even if it meant signing just a one-year contract.
Barca are hoping to lure Xavi Hernandez to Camp Nou next summer. The Al Sadd coach turned down the option to lead Barca in January but left the door open for a return to the club in the future.
