Douglas Costa pleads Shakhtar to support his transfer to Chelsea

Wolfsburg receive a boost in the race to acquire Andre Schurrle as the player reveals his interest for the club. Chelsea are willing to let go off Schurrle if Wolfsburg agree to pay £22.5 million for the forward. The Blues manager Jose Mourinho accepted that the club will reach the end of the transfer season with a potential departure if a phenomenal offer is made.

Chelsea target Douglas Costa pleads with Shakhtar Donetsk to support his move to the Stamford Bridge. The Blues have identified Costa as an alternative signing to their top target Juan Cuadrado. Fiorentina reportedly asked Chelsea to pay the £26.8 million buyout clause of Cuadrado to sign the player, but the price seems to be too high for the Blues. A move for either Costa or Cuadrado can be expected once Andre Schurrle or Mohamed Salah leave the club.
