Galatasaray Submit Bid for Porto Goalkeeper Diogo Costa

Galatasaray have made a formal offer for Porto goalkeeper Diogo Costa, according to Sky Germany. The Turkish side are reported to have bid £17.3m (€20m) plus bonuses for the Portugal international.

While Galatasaray’s primary target remains Manchester City’s Ederson, negotiations with the Premier League champions have not progressed. Costa is now seen as the top alternative option.

Pep Guardiola confirmed Ederson missed City’s opening game of the Premier League season due to illness, dismissing speculation about his future. The Brazilian himself has previously insisted his commitment remains with City, describing most reports about his departure as “fake news.”

Should Ederson depart, City are understood to hold Paris Saint-Germain’s Gianluigi Donnarumma on a shortlist of potential replacements, although no formal talks have been held.
