Chelsea are likely to make another transfer to Saudi Arabia, with Edouard Mendy accepting personal terms with Al Ahli.

Chelsea has already transferred N’Golo Kante to Saudi Arabia this summer, with the French midfielder joining Al Hilal, and they plan to sell additional players to Saudi League teams.

Edouard Mendy is set to be the club’s next departure for Saudi Arabia. The goalkeeper has already accepted personal terms with Al Ahli ahead of a move.

The transaction will probably close fairly soon.

Chelsea goalkeeper Edouard Mendy has accepted personal terms with Saudi League team Al Ahli, according to Fabrizio Romano.

The deal will be valid until June 2026, and talks between Chelsea and Al Ahli for Mendy are nearing completion.

Mendy had been rumored to be leaving Chelsea for several months, and it now appears that he will depart the club shortly, with Chelsea intent on recruiting a successor.

Kepa Arrizabalaga is unlikely to depart at this time, but Chelsea will bring in a new goalkeeper to compete with the Spaniard.

Andre Onana was a target, but the club has now dropped out of the chase. Chelsea admires Mike Maignan as well, but any prospective trade would be costly.

Mendy is close to joining Al Ahli, and he will be one of several Chelsea players to leave this summer. After reaching personal terms with Al Nassr, Hakim Ziyech will not be far behind.
