Currently with the Seleção as they continue their Copa America preparations, Shakhtar Donetsk midfielder Douglas Costa is close to agreeing a deal with Chelsea, according to reports in the English press.
The 24-year-old player has repeated on several occasions that he feels ready to leave Ukraine after more than five seasons there.
The Blues would likely have had to bid as much as 27 million euros in order to convince the Shakhtar to let go of one of their star talents.
