Manchester City shows strong interest in Porto goalkeeper Diogo Costa

Manchester City is reportedly interested in signing Diogo Costa, goalkeeper for FC Porto and the Portugal national team. Costa is highly regarded for his performance in recent seasons and has a reduced release clause of £51 million after signing a new contract earlier this year. City’s interest may be influenced by uncertainty surrounding James Trafford's future with the club. Porto has publicly stated they do not plan to sell Costa, despite ongoing speculation about his potential transfer following the World Cup. His standout performances, particularly in penalty situations, have increased his market value.
