Inter Eye Kepa as Experienced Backup While Promoting Josep Martinez

Overview

• Reports published Thursday and Friday say Inter have put their pursuit of Tottenham’s Guglielmo Vicario on hold and are now linked with Arsenal goalkeeper Kepa Arrizabalaga as an experienced option.
• The club plans to elevate 27-year-old Josep Martinez toward the first‑choice role after Yann Sommer’s exit and wants a seasoned deputy to provide competition and mentoring.
• Kepa joined Arsenal in 2025 for roughly £5m, made 11 appearances this season mostly in cup games, and remains under contract until 2028, which would shape any transfer talks.
• Coverage highlights Kepa’s extensive trophy record and suggests he might accept a move for more regular playing time, but no approach or agreement has been confirmed by Inter, Arsenal, or the player.
• If completed, the move would let Inter balance youth and experience in goal and could prompt Arsenal to seek a cheaper, younger backup to preserve squad depth for next season.
