Chelsea Eyes Porto Star Diogo Costa for Goalkeeper Role
17 Jun
Summary
- Chelsea is considering a move for Porto's goalkeeper Diogo Costa.
- Costa, Porto's captain, is valued at approximately €60m.
- The club seeks a long-term number one, with current keepers unconvincing.
Chelsea Football Club is reportedly contemplating a transfer for FC Porto's goalkeeper, Diogo Costa. The Portuguese international has been identified as a potential long-term number one for the London-based club.
Neither of Chelsea's current goalkeepers, Robert Sanchez and Filip Jorgensen, have demonstrably convinced the club of their capabilities. Jorgensen is anticipated to depart Stamford Bridge this summer. Costa, a long-standing target for Premier League clubs, captained Porto to their third Primeira Liga title last season.
Porto currently places a valuation of approximately €60 million on their captain. With Costa participating in the World Cup with Portugal, his club hopes his performance will further enhance his market value. Several top European clubs, including Paris Saint-Germain, are also reportedly monitoring the situation.
