PLAY ON🚨#FCPorto Chelsea are expected to bid for Diogo Costa, following the new manager’s request. 📌 Porto are unlikely to accept less than the €61M release clause, strengthened by Costa’s World Cup form and interest from Bayern & PSG. 💰 Chelsea are only willing to pay €40M for now, but Porto demand more. 👀 PSG remain in the race, though Chelsea are currently ahead.

Diogo Costa remains one of our top targets for 2027. AVB called him unsellable, & his deal runs for another 4y. But crucially, FCP actually took the mad step of lowering his release clause to £50m. So he ticks almost every box for us. And he’s there, on a plate. However..
