FC Porto names price for Diogo Costa

According to rumors, Manchester United would have to pay £70 million if they want to acquire FC Porto goalkeeper Diogo Costa this summer.

Following David de Gea's error against West Ham, United's goalkeeping strategies have once more come under scrutiny. The 32-year-old's current contract is slated to expire this summer, therefore he is in negotiations for a new one.

Ten Hag is rumored to be interested in signing another goalkeeper this summer, whether De Gea stays at Old Trafford or not, with Dean Henderson expected to go and Jack Butland, who is on loan from Crystal Palace, set to return. Additionally, Football Insider claims that interest in Costa has grown.

This season, Ten Hag's staff has been keeping an eye on the 23-year-old, who has impressed them on numerous scouting excursions. They are considering moving this summer, although the article adds that any such transfer would require a huge £70 million bid for the goalkeeper, who has a contract with Porto through 2027.

Rafael Leao, a former United target, has reportedly signed a new five-year contract with AC Milan, putting an end to the Reds' and other teams' interest in him.

Along with other teams in Europe, it is believed that United has long admired Leao, a Portugal international who is coming off a standout season with Milan. His prior deal was set to end in 2024, and clubs were on high alert and looking into the possibilities of a summer transfer.

Leao's play on the wing was crucial to Milan's reemergence as one of the best teams in Italy and Europe, thus they had always fought tooth and nail to keep him at the San Siro for the long haul.

The 23-year-old has 32 Serie A appearances this season and has contributed 12 goals and 7 assists; as a result, he has been offered a new, long-term contract.
