Talks step up over Diogo Costa 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 interval will be used by the blue and white SAD to address squad matters, particularly the renewal of Diogo Costa.

The same publication reports that the next steps should occur after the goalkeeper returns from his commitments with the national team, against the Republic of Ireland and Hungary.

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

In the last transfer market, Diogo Costa was considered a potential departure, with clubs from the Premier League, Bundesliga, Saudi Arabia, and Turkey interested.

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

“I don’t hide that I said that and it is 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. It’s been 15 years in this house. It is being handled and discussed.”
