The 23 year old defender is being chased by Man City and Man United but Mangala prefers a move to Chelsea but won’t come cheaply.
Primeira Liga side FC Porto will demand at least £35m for Mangala though perhaps Jose Mourinho’s links with his former club could help reduce that valuation a tad.
Mangala has enjoyed three strong season at the Estadio do Dragao, winning two domestic titles, and forcing his way into Didier Deschamps’ 2014 World Cup finals squad.
There appears to be no urgent need for Mourinho to bring in further defensive options given that Chelsea conceded less goals than any other Premier League side last season.
John Terry has been handed a contract extension and Mourinho signed youngster Kurt Zouma in January and can also call upon Gary Cahill and Branislav Ivanovic to fill centre-back spots.
