Chelsea considers bid for Porto goalkeeper Diogo Costa this summer

Chelsea is contemplating a move for Diogo Costa, the Porto and Portugal goalkeeper, as Xabi Alonso aims to strengthen key areas of his squad. Costa, 26, is viewed as a crucial target following Chelsea's significant investment in attacking players. He has a €60 million release clause that could facilitate a transfer if Chelsea decides to act. Alonso's focus on upgrading the goalkeeper position stems from previous instability since the departure of Thibaut Courtois in 2018. Costa's experience and reputation make him a favorable option as Chelsea seeks to enhance their competitiveness in the Premier League.
