Manchester City has put Diogo Costa on the radar as their main candidate to reinforce the goal in case Ederson Moraes leaves the club in the coming weeks. The goalkeeper from FC Porto, valued at 75 million euros, has become the team's priority under Pep Guardiola, who has reportedly initiated preliminary contacts to explore the feasibility of the operation.

The possibility of Ederson leaving Etihad Stadium this summer is becoming more real, especially due to strong interest from Galatasaray, who is seeking a top-notch goalkeeper after winning the Turkish league. Faced with this scenario, the Citizen's sports management seeks to anticipate and secure a reliable replacement, and this is where Costa comes in, one of the most sought-after goalkeepers in Europe for his performances both at Porto and with the Portuguese national team.

Diogo Costa, in Manchester City's sights

City would be willing to offer around 60 million euros, a figure still below the release clause but could serve as a negotiation base. However, at FC Porto, they seem unwilling to let their star go for less than the amount stipulated in his contract, which might compel the English club to raise its proposal if they want to reach an agreement.

With 83 clean sheets in nearly 200 official matches, Diogo Costa has shown reliability in goal, ability with his feet, and top-notch reflexes. Apart from Costa, Manchester City is also monitoring other names like James Trafford, although the Portuguese appears to be the stronger choice. In the coming weeks, the English club is expected to formalize its final offer to try and secure one of the goalkeepers with the highest potential in the European scene.
