Man City's main target — Diogo Costa: has the road to a new goalkeeper opened?

Another big intrigue has arisen in the European football market: English giant “Manchester City” is showing serious interest in the Portuguese “Porto” club's goalkeeper Diogo Costa. According to information, the “citizens” have restarted negotiations with the player’s representatives and have entered an important stage in the transfer process.

Already in the spring of 2025, Costa was given an initial offer, and it was reported that he had also agreed to the transfer. However, at that time, both sides decided to leave this issue until the end of the season. Now the negotiations have become active again, and with great probability, an official decision may be made in the coming weeks.

The transfer price is expected to be around 60 million euros — this is regarded as a special investment for “City.” According to experts, 25-year-old Diogo Costa is not only one of the youngest and most talented goalkeepers of the Portugal national team, but has also begun to be seen as one of the most promising goalkeepers in Europe.

Last season, he played 43 matches in all competitions, and it is noted that 45 goals were scored against his team. However, after Costa’s performances and a series of saves, “Porto” had a successful season. Most importantly, his reaction, position selection, and psychological stability in big matches have attracted the attention of specialists and scouts.

At “Manchester City,” the need for exactly such a strong and young goalkeeper is increasing. In the future, Costa is expected to take his place in the main squad and make a big contribution to the team's championship ambitions.

In conclusion, receiving an offer from an English club may become a new stage in Diogo Costa’s career. Joining “City” opens the door to great opportunities for him and increases the possibility of a new hero emerging on European pitches. Read 'Zamin' on Telegram!
