Three clubs chasing Porto keeper Diogo Costa

The
Portuguese
international
has
been
attracting
interest
from
some
of
the
biggest
clubs
in
Europe
in
recent
times.

Costa
came
through
the
youth
ranks
of
Porto,
initially
representing
their
B
side
before
becoming
the
club’s
number
one
during
the
2021-22
campaign.
The
Portuguese
international
has
impressed
this
campaign,
having
made
14
appearances
in
all
competitions,
producing
seven
clean
sheets
in
the
process.

Costa
has
four
years
left
to
run
on
his
contract
with
Porto
and
reportedly
has
a
€60
million
(£52
million)
release
clause
in
his
current
agreement.

Here,
we
look
at
three
clubs
chasing
the
keeper.

Barcelona

Barcelona
have
reportedly
identified
Diogo
Costa
as
a
replacement
for
their
first-choice
keeper
Marc-Andre
ter
Stegen.
Ter
Stegen
has
not
been
at
his
best
this
season
and
it
is
understood
that
the
Catalan
giants
are
considering
a
move
for
Costa
to
replace
the
German
international.

Manchester
United

United
are
also
interested
in
a
move
for
Diogo
Costa
as
their
number
one
keeper
David
de
Gea
also
faces
an
uncertain
future
at
the
club.
The
Spaniard
has
his
current
deal
expiring
at
the
end
of
the
season
and
there
has
not
been
much
progress
in
contract
talks.
A
sweeper
keeper
by
trade,
Costa
fits
Erik
ten
Hag’s
system
quite
well
which
is
why
he
could
be
a
solid
addition
to
the
Red
Devils.

Juventus

Juventus
are
also
said
to
be
monitoring
the
situation
of
Diogo
Costa
as
they
look
for
an
upgrade
on
Wojciech
Szczęsny.
The
Polish
international
has
been
decent
for
the
Old
Lady
in
recent
times
but
they
could
do
with
someone
to
push
for
a
place.
At
23
years
of
age,
Costa
looks
like
a
future
prospect
and
could
be
a
solid
addition
to
the
side.
