A major shake-up in Manchester City’s goalkeeping department could be on the horizon this summer. The club has reportedly made an official approach to FC Porto to express their interest in signing goalkeeper Diogo Costa.
This move is a direct result of developments concerning their current number one, Ederson. Turkish giants Galatasaray are now convinced they have a serious chance of signing the Brazilian after reaching a full agreement with him on personal terms. This has prompted City to actively seek a top-tier replacement.
In response, City are considering submitting a formal offer of around €60 million for Diogo Costa, who is widely regarded as one of the best young goalkeepers in Europe.
The potential departure of Ederson has directly triggered Manchester City’s move for Costa in a classic domino effect. The future of City’s goalkeeping position now appears to depend on whether a fee can be agreed for Ederson’s exit, which would in turn finance the move for his Portuguese replacement.
