Chelsea bid 40m, but Diogo Costa only leaves for £60m clause

Chelsea considers €40 million investment for Diogo Costa

Chelsea are reportedly considering making a €40 million bid for Diogo Costa, the Portuguese international goalkeeper who plays for FC Porto.

The amount under consideration falls short of the value set by the Dragons to let the player leave. The blue-and-white club are not willing to negotiate the departure of their captain for anything less than the €60 million stipulated in his release clause.

Therefore, with a €20 million gap between the potential London offer and the contractual clause, an FC Porto rejection appears to be the most likely outcome. Diogo Costa remains one of the standout figures in the squad managed by Francesco Farioli.
