Real Madrid continues its pursuit of rare talents in this summer transfer window.
After Brazilian Kylian Mbappé and Brazilian Endrick Felipe Moreira de Sousa, the “merengue” club has now set its sights on Diogo Costa, the last line of defense for FC Porto and the Portuguese national team.
Having delivered standout performances in Euro 2024, Diogo Costa notably shone in the match against Slovenia in the Round of 16, saving 3 penalties during the decisive penalty shootout.
Unable to extend the contract of their Ukrainian goalkeeper Andriy Lunin, who won the last UEFA Champions League edition, Real Madrid aims to sell him during this summer transfer window to avoid a potential departure as a free agent in 2025.
