Chelsea's potential summer transfer plans remain shrouded in uncertainty, particularly when it comes to their goalkeeper situation.
While the Blues have seemingly committed to sticking with Robert Sanchez, there are still reports suggesting they may be willing to spend big on a top goalkeeper.
A potential move for Porto's Diogo Costa has been linked, with Chelsea reportedly hesitant to meet his €60m release clause, instead looking to pay around €40m.
The significant gap in the transfer fee may be insurmountable, making it difficult for Chelsea to change their plans.
However, one factor could potentially sway the club's decision: the appointment of manager Xabi Alonso, who may press for the signing of Costa if he becomes convinced of the player's potential.
The addition of Costa could be a game-changer for Chelsea, bringing a top-level goalkeeper to the team and potentially altering the dynamics of the squad.
While the price may be steep, some argue that it would be a worthwhile investment, offering significant benefits to the team.
In other transfer news, Bournemouth is reportedly close to completing a deal for Antonio Silva from Benfica.
Coventry City is also said to be on the verge of signing Aurele Amenda, a central defender from Frankfurt who recently returned from the World Cup with Switzerland.
