Chelsea will reportedly face competition from Bayern Munich to sign Portugal star Diogo Costa as the Bavarians prepare for life without one of their best ever players.According to CaughtOffside, Chelsea hold strong and long-term interest in Porto goalkeeper Costa. Blues scouts have been ‘impressed’ by his great performances for Porto and are eyeing him as a target amid Robert Sanchez’s ‘patchy’ form.
However, Bayern are ‘very interested’ in Costa too, viewing him as a perfect solution to their keeper headache.
CaughtOffside claim Germany icon Manuel Neuer is ‘considering retiring’ when his contract expires at the end of the season.
The legendary shot-stopper returned from a long-term injury last season and remains Bayern’s No 1, having made 12 appearances so far this term, though he is now 38 years old and resultantly weighing up his future at the top level.
