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’ goal next season, according to Gazzetta Dello Sport. The signing of the Portuguese international is said to have been suggested by agent Jorge Mendes.

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

Juventus is looking for a goalkeeper and, although Diogo Costa is a player they appreciate, he appears as an alternative to targets considered more of a priority and more 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 open to embracing a new adventure in one of Europe’s top leagues. Juventus estimates that the transfer could cost between 45 and 50 million euros, an amount currently 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 his recent contract renewal with FC Porto, Diogo Costa saw his release clause drop from 75 to 60 million euros. It is also worth mentioning that former Porto player Francisco Conceição currently 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.
