Chelsea turned down Arsenal’s initial offer for English goalkeeper Freddy Bernal, who is 18 years old. According to transfer specialist Fabrizio Romano, Chelsea turned down the offer. The teenage goalkeeper is reportedly being sought after by the Blues.
Arsenal, though, is likely to try to up their £1.25 million offer for Bernal when they return with a more attractive offering.
At Stamford Bridge, Bernal is highly regarded, and Chelsea is determined to hold on to him. According to Romano, the England U-18 goalkeeper is being pursued by multiple clubs.
