Farioli praises Diogo Costa: “I don't want to alert other clubs” | OneFootball

Francesco Farioli spoke to the media this Tuesday, before the FC Porto first team’s training session, and one of the main topics was the interest from Europe’s top clubs in Diogo Costa, after the Portuguese goalkeeper shone at the World Cup.

“We know how good he is, so it’s not a surprise at all, but he is our captain and he will be our captain. I spoke to him a few days ago, he was focused on the national team at the World Cup, and now he will have a few days to recharge and refresh himself before coming back to help us next season,” the Italian coach began.

“I don’t want my words to attract the interest of other clubs, only to say that hopefully he will return soon. FC Porto is his home. I always wish him the best for his career, but hopefully his career will be here with us at FC Porto,” he added.

Diogo Costa is currently seen as one of FC Porto’s most sought-after assets on the market. He is under contract until 2030 and has a release clause set at 60 million euros.
