Chelsea are closing in on a sensational triple-deal worth around £50million as they aim to sign Atletico Madrid trio; Diego Costa, Filipe Luis and Tiago
The Blues are expected to be busy this Summer in the transfer market, with several players expected to depart, and several expected to arrive, and Spanish striker Costa is just the first signing after he completed his medical earlier this week.
Jose Mourinho is desperate to sign a new striker who has a killer instinct, and it appears the Spaniard is his man after they agreed a deal worth £32million, which could see the deal be announced before next week after he passed his medical. All that is left for the deal is for the player to agree personal terms.
Now Mourinho has turned his attentions to defensive matters, and it’s two more players from Diego Simeone’s team that excite him, and they are Luis, their left-back and also former-Chelsea holding-midfielder, Tiago.
With Ashley Cole departing the club, Chelsea are now on the look out for a new left-back, and after admitting defeat in the race for Southampton’s Luke Shaw, it now looks like Mourinho will meet Luis’ release-clause of £19m and make him his second big Summer signing.
As for Tiago, he will be able to return to Stamford Bridge for free as his contract is set to expire next month and no contract talks are expected to take place between the midfielder and his current club.
