Transfer talks over Diogo Costa likely to accelerate after internationals

The Portuguese press are adamant that Manchester United are the main contenders for the signing of FC Porto goalkeeper Diogo Costa.

Portuguese newspaper O Jogo dig into the details behind the potential transfer, and note how Porto are in need of making a big sale before the end of the month.

The same report outlines how David de Gea still hasn’t signed a new contract, and with Erik ten Hag wanting a more progressing keeper between the sticks, Costa seems the ideal replacement.

However, United don’t want to pay the €75m release clause to sign Costa.

It is also stated that the process for Costa’s sale ‘should accelerate’ after the upcoming period of internationals.

Costa would be a significant upgrade on De Gea and he’s young enough to be around for a long time.

Maybe Bruno Fernandes and Diogo Dalot can have words before they go on holiday.
