In a stunning development out of Old Trafford, Manchester United are reportedly targeting FC Porto’s standout goalkeeper Diogo Costa as their preferred transfer option to replace Andre Onana ahead of the next season.
Sources close to the club have revealed that United’s recruitment team has been monitoring the 24-year-old Portuguese international for several months, with **Diogo Costa now emerging as the top candidate** to take the No.1 shirt should Onana depart or be moved aside following a challenging first year in the Premier League.
Costa, widely regarded as one of Europe’s most promising goalkeepers, has impressed with his commanding presence, quick reflexes, and exceptional distribution. His performances for both **FC Porto and the Portugal national team** have reportedly caught the eye of several top clubs, but Manchester United are said to be **leading the race** for his signature.
United officials are expected to open formal talks with Porto in the coming weeks, with a **potential offer in the region of €60–70 million** being prepared to trigger negotiations.
This move signals a potential shake-up in United’s goalkeeping department, as Erik ten Hag looks to reinforce the squad after a disappointing campaign — and Costa could be a **long-term solution between the posts** for the Red Devils.
