Chelsea is getting ready to make a £64 million offer for the World Cup player who astounded Cristiano Ronaldo.

Chelsea is now preparing an offer to sign Diogo Costa da Porto, while Mauricio Pochettino seems to buy a fantastic goalkeeper.
This is according to a Bola in Portugal.

What is the story?
Well, the exit of the Portuguese news believes that Chelsea would like to sign an important update on Kepa Arizarabalaga and Edouard Mendy.
As a result, the efforts to sign Costa da Porto seem to sign.

A Bola understands Chelsea are considering making a €75m (£64m) bid for the Portugal international, with the Blues hoping to strike a deal where that amount will be paid in three instalments.

It says Chelsea want to pay €25m (£21m) now and the remaining €50m (£43m) in the future to comply with Financial Fair Play regulations.

The interest in Costa comes after he enjoyed a superb 2022/23 season in which he kept 20 clean sheets in 41 appearances and conceded just 30 goals.

The 23-year-old also started for Portugal at the World Cup, where he stunned Cristiano Ronaldo after coming dangerously close to missing out in the 3-2 win over Ghana when he rolled the ball towards Inaki Williams rather than tossing it long into the match. last seconds.

Update on Diogo Costa could be a sign of Chelsea changing plans

It was recently rumored that Pochettino now plans to start the 2023/24 season with Kepa as the No.1 goalkeeper, according to Sky Sports.

It is clear that this is in contradiction with what a Bola has reported about the coast, so an exit of news has been deceived, or there has been a real change of planning at Stamford Bridge.

In our opinion, Chelsea must follow in the footsteps of Manchester City and Liverpool being great in a main goalkeeper: they can be the difference between a good season and a great one.

Make sure to keep an eye on this situation, because soon an offer must be made for the coast.

Mateo Kovacic: Man City and Chelsea reach a £30 million agreement for the Croatia midfielder

Mateo Kovacic joined Chelsea on loan from Real Madrid in 2018 before making his transfer permanent for £40m a year later;

The Croatian midfielder won four major trophies at Stamford Bridge, including the Champions League in 2021; Kovacic has one more year at Chelsea

Manchester City have agreed a £30m deal to sign Chelsea midfielder Mateo Kovacic.

The fee is said to be £25m guaranteed initially, plus £5m in performance-based surcharges. An official announcement that Kovacic will join last season’s treble winners is expected shortly.

Kovacic has been at Stamford Bridge since leaving Real Madrid – initially on loan – in the summer of 2018.

The Croatia international won four major trophies during his time at Chelsea – including his fourth Champions League in 2021 – and went on to make 221 appearances for the club.

The logic of why Chelsea would allow Mateo Kovacic to leave Stamford Bridge – even to one of their Premier League rivals – is easy to see given that he only has one year left on his contract and that at 29 years old, it is believed to have a limited one.

Interested in engaging in the Stamford Bridge reconstruction project in West London.

There will likely be a segment of Chelsea fans who look at Kovacic’s tally of four goals and 13 assists in 142 Premier League games over five years and think it’s a bargain, up to £30m for the midfield.

It’s true that Kovacic’s influence in the final third was modest at best, while his reluctance to shoot from dangerous positions has always been a curiosity given his superb technical ability.

But it’s also true that Kovacic was never signed as a prolific attacking midfielder, as a tally of 18 goals in eight years for his previous three clubs should have shown.

Instead, the Croatia international’s strengths lie in midfield. Since joining the Premier League in the summer of 2018, Kovacic has ranked fifth among midfielders in successful attacks and assists per 90.

He excels at receiving the ball under pressure, rising while beating the opposing press, and combining defense and attack – skills often overlooked due to his limited attacking power.

But it was those skills that probably endeared him to Manchester City who, after Real Madrid and Inter Milan, added their name to Kovacic’s stellar CV, who has already racked up 18 trophies – including four League titles. champions – during his career and the winner is.

It’s easy to imagine Kovacic fitting perfectly into Pep Guardiola’s squad, either as a competitor to Rodri as a pivot – which would be bad news for Kalvin Phillips – or as a potential future replacement. free agent Ilkay Gundogan as number 8.

Funding Kovacic before his contract expires makes sense for Chelsea, but when Guardiola wants a player it’s usually a sign he’s worth it.
