Chelsea eyes Porto's Diogo Costa to strengthen goalkeeping

Diogo Costa is one of the names on Chelsea's list of potential reinforcements for this summer. The Porto goalkeeper is a favorite of Xabi Alonso, who pointed out the goalkeeping position as an area to be strengthened by the blues.

Who is Diogo Costa?

Diogo Costa is a Portuguese goalkeeper who currently plays for FC Porto. He has a renewed contract from the last season and a release clause of 60 million euros.

Why is Chelsea interested in Diogo Costa?

Chelsea is interested in Diogo Costa because he is considered one of the best goalkeepers in the Primeira Liga. Additionally, the London club needs to strengthen the goalkeeping position, as Robert Sánchez and Filip Jorgensen have not been a guarantee of stability.

What happens next?

The Porto board does not intend to give up on the team captain, since André Villas-Boas proposed to the goalkeeper to wear the number 2 jersey in the new season, as a tribute to Jorge Costa. Diogo Costa has not yet responded to the challenge.
