Following PSG’s triumph in securing the French championship title after their victory against RC Lens, Luis Campos had previously stated that all transfer discussions were on hold. He remarked, « For us, regarding the transfer market, and this is a decision we made with our coach and the president, our transfer window has been completely stopped for several weeks now. » The primary focus was clearly on the upcoming Champions League final scheduled for May 30 against Arsenal. However, this pause doesn’t seem to deter the Parisian club from having very specific plans for the summer.

psg’s pursuit of diogo costa?

According to *Mercado Azul*, a publication dedicated to FC Porto news, PSG is reportedly keen on acquiring Diogo Costa, the club’s goalkeeper who recently celebrated winning the Portuguese championship. This potential move suggests that the Parisians may not intend to fully commit to Matvey Safonov, despite his flawless performances since becoming PSG’s first-choice goalkeeper, nor to reintegrate Lucas Chevalier, who was signed for €40M (plus bonuses) last summer. Diogo Costa extended his contract until 2030 last December, but notably, his release clause was subsequently reduced to €60M.

a pre-world cup transfer agreement?

Such a contract adjustment could be interpreted as a strong indication of an imminent departure. *Mercado Azul* further reports that PSG has intensified negotiations in this dossier, with a firm intention to finalize Diogo Costa’s transfer before the World Cup kicks off on June 11. The underlying strategy appears to be resolving the crucial goalkeeper situation as quickly as possible. It is also worth noting that Diogo Costa’s agent is Jorge Mendes, who shares a well-established professional relationship with Luis Campos. This connection could significantly smooth discussions regarding a transfer for the goalkeeper, who is expected to start for Portugal this summer.
