Xabi Alonso Urges Chelsea to Sign Diogo Costa
Xabi Alonso, who officially took charge as Chelsea's manager in July, has reportedly instructed the club to part ways with goalkeepers Robert Sanchez and Filip Jorgensen. Alonso believes that neither Sanchez nor Jorgensen meets the level required for Chelsea to compete for the title.
In line with this directive, Chelsea is set to approach Porto regarding a transfer for goalkeeper Diogo Costa, following Alonso's request. The Portuguese outlet Correio da Manhã indicates that Alonso admires Costa, especially after his solid performances during the World Cup, which have increased Chelsea's desire to welcome him to Stamford Bridge.
As the summer transfer window progresses, Alonso's recommendations are aimed at enhancing Chelsea's squad for the upcoming season.
