Manchester City has chosen his next goalkeeper

Indisputable goalkeeper of FC Porto, Diogo Costa (25) is one of the guards targeted by Manchester City for the after-day. Linked to the Dragões until 2027, the Portuguese international will not be sold by the club led by André Villas-Boas.

The reason is simple: Costa has a release clause set at € 75 million and Porto would dream of seeing the clubs interested. According to our information, City does not intend to pay for such a sum at all. Skyblues would like to finalize the deal in exchange for € 40 million, the price they had paid in 2017 to snatch Ederson from Benfica.
