Saudi Pro League club Al-Ittihad have cooled their interest in Chelsea goalkeeper Kepa Arrizabalaga.

The Blues had reportedly rejected an offer for the 28-year-old from the Public Investment Fund (PIF) owned club earlier this week.

Sources at the Gulf state club have since played down their chances of making any further offers for the Spain international, who spent last season on loan at Real Madrid.

Kepa remains the world's most expensive goalkeeper after his 拢71.6m move from Athletic Bilbao in 2018.

He has one year left on his current Chelsea contract.
