FC Porto are keen on acquiring the services of Chelsea summer signing Filip Jorgensen to reinforce their goalkeeping position.
According to a report from Fichajes, FC Porto have started planning for life without Diogo Costa and they have identified Chelsea’s Filip Jorgensen as an ideal replacement for the Portuguese international in case of a departure in the summer of 2025.
Costa has come up the ranks at Porto and has established himself as one of the best young goalkeepers in the world. The 25-year-old is already a regular for the Portuguese national team and he is on the wishlist of multiple top clubs thanks to his consistent performances.
There are high chances of the Porto shot-stopper leaving in the summer of 2025 to join a bigger club. As a result, the Portuguese club have started to plan for life without their mainstay. They want to bring in a young shot-stopper who can be their number one going forward.
FC Porto eye Jorgensen as Costa’s ideal replacement
While they have been looking at quite a few options, Chelsea’s Filip Jorgensen has caught their attention. The 22-year-old Danish shot-stopper made a name for himself with his consistent performances at Villarreal. His impressive rise resulted in a move to London last summer.
Jorgensen has featured in six matches for the Blues but he is yet to make an appearance in the Premier League. While the young shot-stopper is quite highly rated and has the potential to be an important first-team player at Chelsea in the long run, Porto are looking to try and lure him to the club.
They could knock on the doors of the Blues next summer and will look to tempt him with the offer to be their undisputed started. While he will get decent game time at the English club, a move to Portugal will allow him to feature in the majority of their matches and more importantly, compete in Europe’s premier competition.
The chance to be a star at Estádio do Dragão could be an attractive prospect for the young Danish goalkeeper. While Porto will have the finances to get a deal over the line once they cash in on Costa, it will be interesting to see if Chelsea are willing to listen to offers for the 22-year-old.
