Premier League
Pep Guardiola has made a key decision for the upcoming season: he wants a new goalkeeper at Manchester City. The elimination in the Club World Cup round of 16 against Al Hilal left the Catalan coach deeply dissatisfied, and Ederson's errors between the posts were the trigger. Despite his continuity at the club and his statements of loyalty, the Brazilian has lost the confidence of his coach in crucial moments.
The name that convinces the coaching staff the most is Diogo Costa. The Porto goalkeeper, at just 25 years old, has established himself as one of the most reliable goalkeepers on the continent. His release clause, set at 75 million euros, is not an insurmountable obstacle for the English club's finances, which sees him as a strategic signing to revitalize the project and once again aspire to all titles.
Manchester City goes for the signing of Diogo Costa
Costa's contract expires in 2027, but in Portugal, they do not rule out his departure this summer. The player himself would be open to a change of scenery that allows him to compete constantly in European elite and prepare for the 2026 World Cup as an undisputed starter in a highly demanding team.
Guardiola, always demanding regarding footwork and security in goal, sees in the Portuguese international a more complete profile and better suited to the evolution of the Citizens' style. Although Ederson has been crucial in recent years, his recent performance has raised doubts.
City is already making moves behind the scenes, and the operation for Diogo Costa could accelerate in the coming weeks. A new cycle in the Etihad goal could be about to begin.
