PSG push for Diogo Costa, but Porto want his €60m release clause | OneFootball

Paris Saint-Germain continues to view Diogo Costa as its top target for goal and has already taken several steps to try to secure the signing of the FC Porto goalkeeper in the next transfer window.

According to what we have learned, the French club is entirely comfortable going up to the 60 million euros of the Portuguese international’s release clause, a figure set in the contract that ties the Porto captain to the Dragons until 2030.

Diogo Costa, 26, continues to be seen at the Dragão as a central piece of the sporting project. In addition to his competitive importance on the pitch, the goalkeeper holds leader status in the dressing room and is one of the team’s main reference points.

The board led by André Villas-Boas has, for now, no intention of making the player’s departure easier. In that scenario, any deal will depend on the full payment of the release clause or an offer very close to that amount.

PSG’s interest confirms the strong international standing of Diogo Costa, who remains one of the most highly rated players in his position in European football. The approach of the summer window is expected to intensify attention around the future of the Porto goalkeeper, at a time when FC Porto is trying to keep one of the squad’s most important figures.

For now, the case remains open, but in Paris there is financial room to go as high as the value contractually required by FC Porto.
