He costs 80 million and would come to United to be a substitute for De Gea

Manchester United is still looking for a player that could compete for the goal with De Gea, and he might be the one to do just that.

Sources close to the team have confirmed that David de Gea has already sign his new contract to stay with the team for at least one more season, and that the only thing missing is the sign of the board of Manchester United, but now it seems that his replacement could be close to arriving to the team in the next few days.

Diogo Costa is currently playing with FC Porto, and now it seems that he has lived his final minutes as a Porto player, because despite the fact that he is the starting goalkeeper he was not called up to the cup final that the team is playing in June 4th, and that could be a sign that he could already be in another team by then.

He is considered to be one of the best young goalkeepers in the world, he is only 23 years old and he has already shown what he is capable of, now it seems that there is a lot of interest to sign him, especially for teams in the Premier League, that is why Manchester United is already thinking about paying his 80 million euros release clause.

Diogo Costa numbers in the season

While playing with FC Porto this season he played 33 out of the 34 games in the season, and he allowed a total of only 22 goals in those games and on top of that he was able to keep a clean sheet in a total of 16 games, so those numbers could be considered to be from an elite keeper, and now he could take on a bigger challenge.
