Manchester United is preparing for a possible change in their goalkeeping position, and Diogo Costa is the leading candidate. The club's sports management, amidst uncertainty about André Onana's future, has begun exploring heavyweight options, with Porto's current goalkeeper fitting the desired profile: young, with international experience, and outstanding reflexes under pressure.
The Portuguese goalkeeper has earned respect in Europe due to his composure in crucial moments. His performance with Portugal in the last Euro Cup, where he excelled in a penalty shootout, solidified him as one of the most reliable goalkeepers on the continent. He is not only distinguished by his crucial saves but also by his adept ball handling, increasingly valued in the elite realm of modern football.
Manchester United Goes for the Signing of Diogo Costa
Costa, at just 25 years old, has taken on leadership at Porto, wearing the captain's armband this season. This early maturity has not gone unnoticed in England, where clubs like Manchester City and Chelsea have closely monitored his recent progress.
The main obstacle for Old Trafford will be financial. His release clause is around 75 million euros, and the president of the Portuguese club has no intention of facilitating his departure. Nonetheless, United believes that such a significant investment would be justified by the goalkeeper's performance and potential.
In a market where top goalkeepers are scarce, the interest in Diogo Costa may escalate in the coming weeks. And if Onana ends up packing his bags, Manchester already has a clear idea of who could step into his place.
