Chester FC are reportedly eyeing the Portuguese international goalkeeper, Diogo Costa, as a potential signing. The 26-year-old has been a key player for Porto and has impressed with Portugal at the World Cup, showcasing his skills in high-pressure situations.
Managers at Chelsea are an admirer of the player and are now hoping to secure his signature, with a view to upgrading the team's goalkeeping position. The Portuguese International has a €60 million release clause in his contract, and Chelsea have the finances to get the deal done, making it a straightforward negotiation.
The interest in Costa has intensified after his impressive performances in the World Cup, and it remains to be seen whether Chelsea can negotiate a deal with Porto. If they are prepared to pay the release clause, the transfer should be straightforward, and Porto will be powerless to stop him from leaving.
The opportunity to join Chelsea could be an exciting new chapter for the 26-year-old goalkeeper, providing a step up in his career and the chance to play for one of the world's biggest clubs. He has consistently shown his quality in Portugal, and his ability to succeed in the Premier League could see him establish himself as a key player for Chelsea if the move goes through.
The €60 million asking price might seem high, but the player is only 26 and could potentially sort out the Chelsea goalkeeping position for the foreseeable future. Chelsea had a disappointing campaign last year, missing out on European football, and they need quality players like Diogo Costa to bounce back strongly.
