Diogo Costa Transfer: Following David de Gea’s latest gaffe in the FA Cup final, Manchester United are said to be leading the battle to recruit Porto custodian Diogo Costa. Following Erik ten Hag’s debut season in command, the Red Devils are eager to bolster their squad once more.
David de Gea’s future remains uncertain, as his contract is scheduled to end later this month. In the midst of the uncertainty, rumours in Portugal say that United are interested in signing Porto’s 23-year-old custodian.

United are reportedly considering a move for Costa as they seek a custodian to compete with De Gea. Despite getting a touch to the ball, the Spaniard failed to keep away Ilkay Gundogan’s second-half volley in the FA Cup final. He has made a series of high-profile mistakes this season, including against Brentford, West Ham, and Sevilla, in addition to City.
According to A Bola, Newcastle and Chelsea are also keeping tabs on Costa, who has emerged as Porto’s first-choice custodian. He is 23 years old and has 11 caps for Portugal, as well as over 100 appearances for the Portuguese national team.

A transfer to United would bring him together with international teammates Bruno Fernandes and Diogo Dalot, the latter of whom has recently signed a new contract at Old Trafford. United are anticipated to speed up their pursuit of Costa following the Portuguese Cup final, which takes place later today between Porto and Braga.
United are thought to have made a contract offer to De Gea, but the agreement has not to be signed. As a result, questions over who will be United’s first-choice custodian next season persist, especially if the team is able to acquire Costa. They will almost certainly enter the transfer market as they prepare to return to the Champions League.
