Chelsea are reportedly eyeing a summer transfer to sign Portuguese international goalkeeper Diogo Costa. The 26-year-old has impressed with his performances for Porto and the Portuguese national team at the World Cup, drawing attention from top clubs.
PSG and Bayern Munich are also monitoring Costa's development, but Chelsea are willing to pay £34 million to secure his services. This amount falls short of Costa's £51 million release clause, but the Blues believe he would be an upgrade on current goalkeeper Robert Sanchez.
Sanchez has struggled since joining Chelsea, and the club is desperate for a new goalkeeper. Costa, on the other hand, has shown his quality at both club and country level, making him an attractive target for the Premier League outfit.
With other top clubs in the mix, Chelsea might need to accelerate their pursuit of Costa to secure his signature. However, the 26-year-old will be hopeful of resolving his future quickly so he can focus on his football again.
Costa is at the peak of his career, and a move to Chelsea could provide him with the platform to fight for major trophies. The Premier League club could be an ideal destination for all parties involved, given its stature and reputation.
