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

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

According to our information, the French club are fully comfortable with reaching 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 seen at the Dragão as a central piece of the sporting project. In addition to 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, for now, no intention of making the player’s departure easier. In that scenario, any deal will depend on the full payment of the release clause or an offer very close to that amount.

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

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