PSG push for Diogo Costa, but Porto want €60m release clause | OneFootball

Paris Saint-Germain continue to see Diogo Costa as their top target for the goalkeeper position and have already taken several steps to try to secure the FC Porto keeper’s signing in the next transfer window.

According to what we have learned, the French club are completely comfortable going up to the €60 million release clause of the Portugal international, a figure set in the contract that ties the Porto captain to the Dragons until 2030.

Diogo Costa, 26, continues to be viewed at the Dragão as a central part of the sporting project. Beyond his competitive importance on the pitch, the goalkeeper holds leader status in the dressing room and is one of the team’s main reference points.

The board led by André Villas-Boas has no intention, for now, of making the player’s departure any easier. In that scenario, any deal will depend on the full payment of the clause or an offer very close to that amount.

PSG’s interest confirms the strong international standing of Diogo Costa, who remains one of the most highly rated players in his position in European football. The approach of the summer window should intensify the spotlight on the Porto goalkeeper’s future, at a time when FC Porto are trying to keep one of the most important figures in the squad.

For now, the case remains open, but in Paris there is financial room to go as high as the amount contractually required by FC Porto.
