Talks heat up over Diogo Costa’s contract renewal | OneFootball

After a demanding cycle of matches for FC Porto, which had the classic against Benfica as its highlight, a new FIFA break has begun. According to the newspaper ‘A Bola’, this break will be used by the blue and white board to deal with squad matters, particularly the renewal of Diogo Costa.

The same publication adds that the next steps should take place after the goalkeeper returns from his national team duties, against the Republic of Ireland and Hungary.

Still according to the same newspaper, the Portuguese international has already received a contract extension offer since August and only his response is pending.

In the last transfer window, Diogo Costa was mentioned as a possible departure, with clubs from the Premier League, Bundesliga, Saudi Arabia, and Turkey showing interest.

However, the captain ended up staying, demonstrating his commitment to the blue and whites. In recent statements, when asked about a possible renewal with FC Porto, Diogo Costa made his intentions clear.

“I don’t hide that I said this and it’s the absolute truth. I would be the happiest man in the world. The renewal is something that is being discussed with the right people and with the coach as well. Everyone knows about my love for the club. I’ve been at this club for 15 years now. It’s being handled and discussed.”
