Sporting Lisbon are interested in signing Chelsea third-choice
goalkeeper Hilario.
The 34-year-old has struggled to make any impression as
understudy to Petr Cech and has made barely 20 appearances since
joining the Blues on a free-transfer in 2006.
Chelsea exit? Sporting Lisbon are keen to sign
Hilario in the summer
Lisbon are looking to add another goalkeeper to their squad to
challenge current no 1 Rui Patricio and the Chelsea stopper has
been targeted to do so.
Hilario was heavily criticised for his part in Chelsea's 4-2
defeat at home to Manchester City in the Premier League last
month.
Manager Carlo Ancelotti has deemed the Portuguese shot-stopper
surplus to requirements at Stamford Bridge, with a move back to his
homeland highly inevitable.
