FC Porto eye Horníček in goal if Diogo Costa leaves this summer | OneFootball

FC Porto have identified Lukáš Horníček as a possible solution for the goalkeeping position if Diogo Costa leaves the club in this summer transfer window.

The 23-year-old Czech goalkeeper belongs to Sp. Braga and is among the names being considered as a possible successor in Porto’s goal. The blue-and-white SAD is closely monitoring the situation, in a scenario that, for now, depends on a possible transfer of Diogo Costa.

In Braga, Horníček is highly valued. The Minho club is said to be looking for a fee in the region of €30 million to enter negotiations for the young Czech international, who has been steadily gaining ground and recognition.

For FC Porto, any move forward in this process will naturally be tied to the future of Diogo Costa, one of the squad’s most valuable players. Only if the current goalkeeper leaves will the need to go into the market for this position become a priority.

Horníček fits the profile of a young goalkeeper with room for development and who already knows Portuguese football, factors that could weigh in Porto’s favor in the coming weeks. Until then, the process is expected to remain dependent on transfer market movements and on clarifying the future of the blue-and-white goal.
