Today's update on Costa's future was provided by CM Journal, citing Correio da Manh. According to them, FC Porto will need to raise money by selling some of its players before June 30th, with the goalie being their most valued asset (worth £38.5 million, according to Transfermarkt).
The article claims that United are 'finalising' a deal to buy the 23-year-old as they want to improve their goalkeeping.
Costa's greatest strength is his ability to play out from the back, yet he has also shown that he is a skilled shot blocker.
Although Costa is still young and developing his skills, there are some worries following certain challenges he experienced during the World Cup. If this deal does go through, supporters must exercise patience.
According to the language used, it appears that United is still working behind the scenes to finalize the Costa offer and has not yet approached Porto directly with this offer. Given that, it can take some time before we learn anything specific.
Harry Maguire set for United's stay
According to a recent rumor, Harry Maguire, an English international, is hesitant to leave Man United during the forthcoming transfer window.
The United captain's playing time has considerably decreased since Erik ten Hag joined the team, and he is now the Red Devils' fourth-choice center back behind Varane, Martinez, and Lindelof.
Because of this, many believed Maguire would leave the team during the summer transfer window, but talkSPORT claims that the defender is undecided about joining a new team before the forthcoming season despite the likelihood that he will play very little in it.
If the Dutch coach succeeds in his search for a new center-back, Maguire will be further downgraded in Ten Hag's plans.
Maguire's time at Old Trafford did not go well, but it does not exclude the Englishman from being valuable to another team.
The 30-year-old has been linked with moves to Aston Villa and Tottenham, but these teams will find it difficult to sign the center-back this summer given the attitude talkSPORT claims he now possesses.
