Alberto Costa makes his mark at FC Porto, attracting Europe’s elite | OneFootball

Alberto Costa continues to establish himself as one of FC Porto’s leading figures at the start of the season, following an impressive debut campaign in the blue and white shirt. According to CaughtOffside, the 22-year-old right-back is being monitored by Bruno Fernandes’ Manchester United and by Arsenal, the English champions, with both clubs considering making contact in the January transfer window.

The same outlet adds that Manchester City and PSG, two-time European champions, are also closely tracking the Porto player. So far, the board led by André Villas-Boas has reportedly not received any official offer for the Portugal international.

In 2025/26, Alberto Costa won the national title with FC Porto, recording one goal and one assist in 47 matches. The full-back arrived in Porto from Juventus in a €15 million deal that included João Mário moving to the Italian club. This season, he has played 626 minutes across eight matches and remains under contract with the Dragons until 2030, protected by a €60 million release clause.
