Chelsea call Man Utd's bluff with £64.5m bid after Erik ten Hag's transfer U-turn

Chelsea are ready to pay £64.5m to sign Diogo Costa - despite him being heavily linked with a switch to Manchester United.

The Red Devils have tracked the Porto goalkeeper for several months and have weighed up a bid as they look to iron out their own No.1 situation. David de Gea's future remains unclear and the Spanish goalkeeper is set to become a free agent in a matter of days.

United, who have tabled a new offer to the goalkeeper, are yet to get an answer from De Gea, who is not performing at the level he once was. Should he leave Costa is high on their list of replacements and they were willing to pay his asking price, as per the Daily Mail. Inter Milan's Andre Onana, who worked with Erik ten Hag at Ajax is also a target and talks between the two parties are now being planned.
