Diogo Costa on English clubs’ interest: “I’ll always be happy at FC Porto” | OneFootball

The possibility of having an entire career at FC Porto: “I arrived here as a young boy, just turned 13. We all have the dream of playing in the first team and representing FC Porto. We see so many idols who have been through the club and we dream of representing the club the way they did. I come from a family that supports Porto, so everyone can imagine what it means to play for my club. There is a much stronger emotional connection and great pride. We all dream of being FC Porto players, but we also know that very few make it. Playing here, and on top of that as captain, something I never imagined would happen so soon... I am very grateful to FC Porto for everything it has taught me as a player and as a man. I have already admitted that if I had to play here my entire career, I would be extremely happy, so this is a dream come true.”

About the release clause: “It's just a part of the contract and it was the agreement we reached. I just renewed and I will be happy every day if I end my career here. Every year there are always those who wonder if I will stay or leave, but that's part of a professional footballer's life.”

Interest from English clubs: “Everyone knows that the Premier League is the best, or one of the best, leagues in the world. If you ask all the players in the world if they would like to play in the Premier League, I think there isn't one who wouldn't. But, as I said, I just renewed and I am extremely happy. It's a dream come true and since I come from a Porto-supporting family, I will always be happy here.”
