Porto's goalkeeper Diogo Costa

    Key Takeaways:

  • Manchester City is planning to part ways with first-choice goalkeeper Ederson in the summer
  • Porto’s Diogo Costa has been identified as the club’s primary target for the position
  • Initial contact has reportedly been made with the 25-year-old Portuguese international

Manchester City is preparing to part ways with Ederson at the end of the season and has set its sights on Porto goalkeeper Diogo Costa as his potential replacement. The Citizens are planning a major squad overhaul and have already made changes in all outfield positions during the January transfer window, bringing in Husanov, Gonzalez, and Marmoush.

The goalkeeping situation has become a concern for Pep Guardiola, who has often opted for Stefan Ortega over Ederson throughout the season. However, both goalkeepers have faced criticism for their performances and costly mistakes, prompting City to look for a long-term solution.

Portuguese international Diogo Costa has been identified as the club’s top target, with reports indicating that City has already made initial contact with the 25-year-old Porto shot-stopper. Costa remains under contract with Porto until 2027, and sources suggest that his release clause is set at approximately €75 million.
