Diogo Costa, the 26-year-old goalkeeper for FC Porto (contract until 2030) and Portugal, was linked with Paris Saint-Germain during the 2025 summer transfer window. Mercado Azul, a media outlet specializing in the Portuguese club, claims that PSG has made a move to sign him this summer.
“The French club has confirmed its willingness to pay the goalkeeper’s €60 million release clause.”
“The French club has already held several meetings with representatives of both the player and the Portuguese club. The latest meeting proved decisive, with the French club confirming its willingness to pay the goalkeeper’s €60 million release clause. This amount is considered non-negotiable by FC Porto.
The Parisian club has accelerated negotiations and seems eager to finalize the transfer before the World Cup. Diogo Costa has not yet made a decision, but negotiations are progressing, and the player could become one of the most expensive goalkeepers in the history of world football. FC Porto wants to keep its captain and will not let him go for less than €60 million.”
Diogo Costa is an excellent goalkeeper, and interest from PSG is far from impossible; several fans were even campaigning for his arrival last summer. However, PSG opted for Lucas Chevalier (24 years old) with a €40 million investment. A significant sum, especially for a goalkeeper. One who hasn’t managed to establish himself in the capital.
This could lead to further considerations and discussions during this summer transfer window. But there’s no guarantee that PSG is ready to spend €60 million on another trial, especially since Matvey Safonov (27 years old) has performed admirably as the starting goalkeeper in recent months. Renato Marin, the 19-year-old goalkeeper who arrived last summer from AS Roma, has also made an impressive start in recent weeks. It wouldn’t be unreasonable to give him a chance.
So, we remain very cautious. It’s just a rumor at the moment, and we know that PSG attracts numerous transfer rumors every year without any confirmation. Diogo Costa would certainly represent a major expense for the second year running in this crucial position.
