Diogo Costa, current player of FC Porto, is in the spotlight of FC Barcelona and Manchester City. At just 25 years old, Costa is showing great determination on the field, his leadership role in defense making him one of the most important players in the Portuguese team's locker room.

Despite Barcelona's intention to strengthen their squad with the young goalkeeper, the Porto's asking price of 37.5 million euros has raised doubts. For a club still undergoing financial recovery after years of adjustments and restrictions, the transfer cost could be prohibitive. The high price sets a significant barrier, especially considering the salary caps and limited spending margin of the club.

On the other hand, Manchester City, managed by Pep Guardiola, views the move of the Portuguese goalkeeper positively, given the potential departure of Ederson in the upcoming season.

Costa could fit in with both teams.

Costa has shown great skill with the ball. The Portuguese goalkeeper stands out for impressive ball distribution, ideal for the tactics of both clubs.

For Hansi Flick, signing the goalkeeper is crucial; however, Porto's asking price has Barcelona hesitant. On the other hand, Pep is eager to sign the Portuguese goalkeeper at any cost.
