Diogo Costa’s new deal top of André Villas-Boas’ wishlist | OneFootball

The renewal negotiation between FC Porto and Diogo Costa, if concluded, will make the dragons' goalkeeper the player with the highest remuneration in the SAD's payroll. Diogo Costa earns, in the current contract, 1.8 M€ net (equivalent to annual charges of 3.6 M€ for the club); this level will be revised upwards, placing him above the remunerations of Samu and Gabri Veiga - the current contract extends until 2027.

Negotiations are underway and, it should be noted, Diogo Costa was already aware of the intentions of the society presided over by André Villas-Boas to reach an agreement for a new contract before the transfer market closes on Monday.

From FC Porto's point of view, the possibility of the goalkeeper heading to Aston Villa was never realistic, as it is a club subject to financial fair play limitations that would make it difficult to approach the 75 M€ termination clause.
