Porto have Horníček lined up if Diogo Costa leaves in summer | OneFootball

FC Porto have identified Lukáš Horníček as a possible solution for the goalkeeping position if Diogo Costa leaves the club in this summer transfer window.

The 23-year-old Czech goalkeeper belongs to Sp. Braga and is among the names being considered as a possible successor in Porto’s goal. The blue-and-white SAD is closely monitoring the situation, in a scenario that, for now, depends on a potential transfer of Diogo Costa.

In Braga, Horníček is highly rated. The Minho club is pointing to a fee in the region of €30 million to agree to negotiate for the Czech youth international, who has been gaining ground and recognition.

For FC Porto, any move forward in this process will naturally be tied to the future of Diogo Costa, one of the most valuable players in the squad. Only if the current goalkeeper leaves will the need to turn to the market for this position become a priority.

Horníček fits the profile of a young goalkeeper with room to develop and who already knows Portuguese football, factors that could weigh in Porto’s favor in a possible approach over the coming weeks. Until then, the process is expected to remain dependent on market movements and on defining the future of the blue-and-white goal.
