Transfer news – PSG ready for another goalkeeping splurge?

Diogo Costa, the 26-year-old goalkeeper for FC Porto (under contract until 2030) and Portugal, was mentioned during the summer 2025 transfer window as one of Paris Saint-Germain’s targets. Mercado Azul, a media outlet specializing in the Portuguese club, claims that PSG has taken action to sign him this summer.

“The French club having confirmed its intention to pay the goalkeeper’s €60 million release clause”

“The French club has already held several meetings with the representatives of the player and the Portuguese club. The latest meeting was decisive, with the French club confirming its intention to pay the goalkeeper’s €60 million release clause. That amount is considered non-negotiable by FC Porto. The Parisian club has stepped up negotiations and seems eager to complete the transfer before the World Cup. Diogo Costa has not yet made a decision, but talks are progressing and the player could become one of the most expensive goalkeepers in world football history. FC Porto wants to keep its captain and will not let him go for less than €60 million.”

Diogo Costa is an excellent goalkeeper, and PSG’s interest is far from impossible; several supporters were already calling for his arrival last summer. However, Paris turned to Lucas Chevalier (24) with a €40 million outlay. A significant fee, especially for a goalkeeper. One who failed to establish himself in the capital.

That could lead to new thinking and discussions for this summer transfer window. But nothing says PSG is ready to spend €60 million on another attempt, especially since Matvey Safonov (27) has done a very good job as the starter in recent months. Renato Marin, the 19-year-old goalkeeper who arrived last summer from AS Roma, has also made an encouraging start in recent weeks. It would not be unreasonable to give him a chance.

So, we remain very cautious. For now, it is only a rumor, and we know PSG attracts plenty of reports every year without the slightest confirmation. In any case, Diogo Costa would be a major outlay for a second straight year in this very specific position.
