Juventus interested in €50m Porto goalkeeper Diogo Costa
Juventus are exploring options to strengthen their goalkeeping department this summer, with Diogo Costa emerging as a leading target.
The Bianconeri are not fully convinced by Michele Di Gregorio as a long-term No.1, while Mattia Perin is still viewed as a reliable backup despite his recent run in the starting role. As a result, the club are expected to invest in a new goalkeeper regardless of whether they secure Champions League qualification.
Costa among candidates for Juventus goalkeeper hunt
Head coach Luciano Spalletti is said to admire Alisson Becker, whom he previously worked with at Roma, although a deal for the Liverpool goalkeeper would be complicated. Alternative options include Marco Carnesecchi, but Atalanta are demanding a high fee and are increasingly inclined to sell abroad.
According to CalcioMercato.it, Costa, currently with FC Porto, is seen as a strong candidate. The Portugal international is represented by influential agent Jorge Mendes, who maintains close ties with Juventus.
However, Porto are expected to be a major obstacle. The club reportedly value their captain at around €50m following his recent contract renewal until 2030. While Mendes could help negotiate a lower fee, any deal would still require a significant financial commitment from Juventus as they look to reshape their squad ahead of next season.
