Diogo Costa is Farioli's main 'signing' at FC Porto

Correio da Manhã3 September 2026 at 01:30

Diogo Costa is considered Francesco Farioli's great signing for FC Porto's new season. Although he is already part of the Porto squad, the goalkeeper is treated as a fundamental asset for the Italian coach's sporting project.

The major European clubs did not proceed with proposals for Diogo Costa's signing. This situation is due to the 60 million euro release clause, which ruled out the interest of the main teams on the continent.

FC Porto thus manages to keep one of the most valued goalkeepers in European football in its ranks. The player's retention represents a strategic coup for the club in retaining talent against market pressure.
