Diogo Costa contract renewal top priority for André Villas-Boas | OneFootball

The renewal negotiation between FC Porto and Diogo Costa, if concluded, will make the Dragons' goalkeeper the highest-paid player on the club's payroll. Diogo Costa currently earns 1.8 million euros net (equivalent to an annual cost of 3.6 million euros for the club); this level will be revised upwards, placing him above the salaries of Samu and Gabri Veiga – the current contract extends until 2027.

Negotiations are ongoing and, it is worth noting, Diogo Costa was already aware of the intentions of the society presided over by André Villas-Boas to reach an agreement for a new contract before the transfer market closes on Monday.

From FC Porto's perspective, the possibility of the goalkeeper moving to Aston Villa was never realistic, as it is a club subject to financial fair play limitations that would hinder approaching the 75 million euro release clause.
