35-year-old Willy Caballero did not have the status of a free agent for long - London's "Chelsea" officially confirmed that they have reached an agreement with the experienced Argentine. W. Caballero spent the last three seasons at "Manchester City". However, the "City" did not want to extend the contract with the goalkeeper for a longer period, and today the Argentine became a free agent. "Chelsea" did not miss the opportunity to shake hands with the goalkeeper, who is likely to sign a one-year contract. He will replace Asmir Begović, who left for "Bournemouth", to provide competition for Thibaut Courtois in the "Blues" team. Last season, W. Caballero played quite reliably and took the starting position from Claudio Bravo, who had a tough time in England. The Argentine played 27 matches for the "City" team last year and kept the goal "dry" in 10 of them. W. Caballero, who has never played for the Argentine national team, has also defended the colors of the "Malaga", "Arsenal Sarandi", "Elche", and "Boca Juniors" teams in the past.
Welcome to Chelsea, Willy Caballero! https://t.co/GGFudYqdu3
