UOL add Chelsea are considering making a formal offer, but are believed to be behind Porto and Galatasaray in the race, with both clubs set to make offers soon.

Brazao is under contract with the Brazilian club until 2028, and has been first choice since arriving from Inter Milan in February 2024.

Kobel and Martinez targets

Chelsea have also been linked with Borussia Dortmund’s Gregor Kobel, and the Bundesliga outfit are said to want as much as €60m for the 27-year-old.

Aston Villa’s Emi Martinez is the latest keeper to be linked with a switch to Stamford Bridge, but any move for a new shot stopper will be based on what the Blues decide to do with Djordje Petrovic.
