Latest Developments: Diogo Costa Signing and Team Updates
Premier League: Manchester City Reaches Agreement for New Signee, Sangare
Manchester City has reportedly agreed on a deal to sign 25-year-old Porto goalkeeper, Diogo Costa, during the upcoming summer transfer window. Fabrizio Romano confirmed this exciting news on his X account, with a verbal agreement in place and a medical examination scheduled.
Meanwhile, Manchester City's premier striker, Erling Haaland, and Spanish midfielder, Rodri, are back in action after extended injuries. Rodri, currently recovering from an ACL injury, has rejoined full training, although his return to competitive action isn't confirmed yet. The Club World Cup seems like a more realistic goal than the FA Cup Final or remaining Premier League fixtures for him.
Erling Haaland is also back on the training ground following his recovery from an ankle injury. Pep Guardiola is expected to provide an update on his fitness during Thursday's press conference. Unfortunately, defenders Nathan Ake and John Stones are still sidelined and yet to resume training.
As for Costa, Manchester City is actively seeking to bolster their goalkeeping department. Their proposed offer stands around €40 million, but Porto's release clause for the Portuguese goalkeeper is pegged at €75 million. Silva has been working closely with agent Jorge Mendes to finalize the deal.
There's a lingering uncertainty over Ederson's future at Manchester City. Last summer, he was close to heading for the Saudi Pro League, and rumors suggest there might be similar moves this year. However, Ederson's contract runs until 2026, and should his valuation be met, the club is open to letting him leave.
