Juventus eye Diogo Costa but Porto will only sell for his release clause | OneFootball

Diogo Costa is being considered as one of the options for Juventus' goalkeeping position next season, according to Gazzetta Dello Sport. The signing of the Portuguese international has reportedly been suggested by the agent Jorge Mendes.

According to the Italian newspaper, the name of Diogo Costa was discussed in conversations between Jorge Mendes and the Turin club regarding a potential transfer of Bernardo Silva from Manchester City. The agent is thus involved in several negotiation fronts with the Italian team.

Juventus is looking for a goalkeeper and, although Diogo Costa is a player they appreciate, he appears as an alternative to targets considered more prioritized and accessible, such as Alisson from Liverpool and Marco Carnesecchi from Atalanta.

The same source adds that the FC Porto goalkeeper, who renewed his contract until 2030, is willing to embrace a new adventure in one of the main European leagues. Juventus estimates that the transfer could be between 45 and 50 million euros, an amount being considered by the club, whose decision will depend on the progress of negotiations with other candidates for the position.

It should be noted that in the recent renewal with FC Porto, Diogo Costa saw his release clause decrease from 75 to 60 million euros. It is also worth mentioning that former Porto player Francisco Conceição plays for Juventus and that the two clubs recently negotiated the exchange of João Mário for Alberto Costa, in addition to the winger's transfer.
