Diogo Costa’s contract renewal could come with a catch | OneFootball

Diogo Costa is currently the main priority for FC Porto’s board in renewal negotiations. The goalkeeper is the only regular starter who has not yet signed a long-term contract.

Although it is known that the Portuguese international already has an offer to extend his contract until 2030, the sports daily ‘O Jogo’ reports this Friday that the offer may include a small “catch.”

According to the same publication, if the proposal is accepted, it will make Diogo Costa one of the highest-paid players in the squad, a clear sign of confidence from the Dragons.

However, the extension of the 25-year-old goalkeeper’s contract could entail a reduction in his release clause.

The newspaper points out that this clause could drop from 75 million euros to around 65 or 60 million. Even so, this decrease should not be an obstacle to negotiations, and an understanding between the parties is possible despite the change.

As for the player himself, there seems to be no doubt about his intention to remain with the Blues and Whites.
