Jorge Mendes could reportedly have a key role to play in a major Chelsea transfer this summer as they target the signing of Porto goalkeeper Diogo Costa.
The super-agent seems to be getting involved in Costa’s future and is tipped to help the Portuguese shot-stopper get a move to Stamford Bridge, according to A Bola, as cited and translated by Sport Witness.
Costa has impressed in his time with Porto, and the report states that they’re proving tough to negotiate with as they want to stick to his €75million asking price.
Chelsea have apparently been keen to try to split that payment into three instalments, which Porto won’t accept, according to the report.
Mendes has worked on some of the biggest transfer deals in world football for much of the last decade, so it’ll be interesting to see if he can help the Blues get this ideal replacement for the departing Edouard Mendy.
Chelsea have looked in need of a new number one ‘keeper for some time, and Costa seems an ideal candidate to give them an upgrade in that department after inconsistent displays from Mendy and Kepa Arrizabalaga in the last few years.
Jorge Mendes is such a dangerous agent who make clubs fool to buy worthless player’s Diego Costa might be a good goal keeper but he is not up to the mark of preimer league we had enough wasted by kepa spending again mendez is using Chelsea to make fool if bohely is clever then he will not accept it if he is fool to fell for Mendez manipulation then Chelsea will again suffer
Costa is one of the best up and coming gks in world football. He’s everything a modern keeper requires to be elite and all the top coaches would take him. He’s 23 and is only going to get better. I’m a United supporter and I’d love him to join us but seems like we’re going after Onana and I’m happy with him too. Kepa isn’t good enough to start for Chelsea so they need a keeper and he’s available. Who should they buy instead then that’s available and better?
