Chelsea agree deal to sign star player Maresca loves

Chelsea have made contact with FC Porto goalkeeper Diogo Costa over a possible transfer to Stamford Bridge.

Enzo Maresca is the man that the Chelsea board feel can take the club forward after Mauricio Pochettino failed to impress as coach of the club last season – and the Italian will be backed in the transfer window.

And The Telegraph report that the 44-year-old will prioritise signing a new goalkeeper as he looks to improve key areas of the squad that is lacking in real quality.

CHELSEA made some big signings last summer that they believed would help the club challenge for a Champions League spot and maybe add some silverware to the cabinet.

One arrival that was made was that of Robert Sanchez – who was no longer wanted at Brighton and was quickly signed up by the Blues as they were desperate to add a new stopper to the side.

He has been a massive part of that Chelsea side this season – but he is not seen as a man that is good enough to play for one of the big Premier League clubs and has really struggled to impress.

And now – According to journalist Rudy Galetti on X, Chelsea have made contact with FC Porto goalkeeper Diogo Costa over a possible transfer

He Tweeted: ‘Diogo #Costa has been approached by #Chelsea, which are looking for a new goalkeeper.

💰 #Porto are open to selling the 🇵🇹 GK in the summer, in case an offer is deemed satisfactory.’

Now that CHELSEA have got their new manager – they can work on signing players that will make an immediate impact at the club – and Costa is a very good stopper.

There are better options out there – but the man is ready for a step up and could be a much better option than what the Blues currently have.
