Diogo Costa thinking about Premier League transfer amid Manchester United links.
Manchester United might have a better chance of signing goalkeeper Diogo Costa, who has always wanted to play in the Premier League. According to Caught Offside, Diogo Costa, who is on Manchester United's radar, dreams of playing in England’s top flight, which could help the club in their efforts to bring him in. The Red Devils are looking for a new first-choice goalkeeper to replace Andre Onana, and they are considering a move for the Portuguese international.
Right now, Manchester United is actively involved in the transfer market and trying to finalize deals for their main targets.
While much of the recent focus has been on finding a new striker, manager Ruben Amorim sees the need for a reliable goalkeeper as just as important as securing a center forward.
There has been a lot of discussion about the need for a new No.
1 goalkeeper after Andre Onana's two seasons at the club have not met expectations. Although some reports suggest Amorim might be willing to keep Onana, the general belief is that the club will look to sell him this summer if a good offer comes in. Manchester United are prepared to sell Onana for around £20 million.
Several potential replacements for Onana have been considered, including Belgian talent Senne Lammens.
There have also been links to Gianluigi Donnarumma, whose future at PSG is uncertain, and Amorim would be open to signing Emiliano Martinez as well.
Diogo Costa, the 25-year-old Portuguese goalkeeper from FC Porto, is now on Manchester United’s list, and there is an increasing chance the club could make a move for him.
Costa has long wanted to play in the Premier League and could see Manchester United as a good opportunity to advance his career.
Manchester United have been linked with Diogo Costa, but the club have decided to sign James Trafford instead and keep Ederson Moraes beyond the transfer window. Manchester United are likely a major draw for Costa, as discussions between the two clubs could begin soon. The club will be careful about FC Porto's demands for the goalkeeper, as they may refer to a clause in his contract that could require a release fee. Signing Costa could be a smart move for Amorim, as the 25-year-old Portuguese international is a top-class keeper and could fit well with the Red Devils.
