Premier League
Manchester City has set its sights on Diogo Costa to strengthen its goal for the upcoming season. After a campaign in which they lost the throne in England and Europe, the club led by Pep Guardiola has started a profound restructuring, and one of the first decisions points directly to the goal. With Ederson closer to an exit than staying at the Etihad, the Portuguese international from Porto emerges as the favorite to take his place.
The English club has already made an initial attempt to secure the services of the 25-year-old goalkeeper, although their initial proposal of 40 million euros, between variables and fixed payments, was rejected by the Portuguese side. At Dragão, they are not willing to negotiate below the 60 million release clause, making it clear that they will not facilitate the operation.
Manchester City goes for the signing of Diogo Costa
Diogo Costa has been standing out for several seasons as one of the most consistent goalkeepers in European football. His performance in the Primeira Liga and international competitions has placed him on the radar of several giants, but City seems determined to lead the race for his signing. Guardiola considers it essential to secure the future in that position, especially given the lack of guarantees offered by Ederson and Ortega in recent months.
The operation, however, will not be easy. Porto's firm stance forces City to make a move if they want to close the deal before other suitors come into play. Nevertheless, Manchester has shown in the past that they spare no resources when it comes to strengthening key positions. The Diogo Costa case promises to be one of the big topics of the summer in the European market.
