Porto, August 4, 2025 — FC Porto and Diogo Costa have officially extended their partnership, as the Portuguese international goalkeeper signed a long-term contract renewal with the club. The news was confirmed earlier today by the club in an official statement, followed by an emotional message from Costa that left fans deeply moved.

The 25-year-old keeper, widely regarded as one of Europe’s top goalkeepers, has been instrumental in Porto’s domestic and European campaigns in recent years. His decision to renew his contract—believed to include a significant release clause—comes amidst reported interest from top clubs across Europe.
Costa’s message continued: “I know there were rumors, but I never had any doubts. My heart is blue and white. This city, these fans, this club—they gave me everything. And I want to give everything back.”
FC Porto President Jorge Nuno Pinto da Costa praised the goalkeeper’s loyalty and leadership: “Diogo Costa represents the spirit of FC Porto—commitment, resilience, and excellence. This renewal is more than a contract; it’s a statement of belief in our future.”
The length and financial details of the deal were not disclosed, but sources close to the club suggest the new agreement extends well beyond 2029.
Fans gathered outside Estádio do Dragão after the announcement, chanting Costa’s name and celebrating what many see as a crucial step in building a team capable of competing at the highest level.
For now, Diogo Costa remains not only FC Porto’s last line of defense—but its
beating heart.
