Galatasaray turns to attack Diogo Costa, Manchester City goalkeeper s substitute becomes a planner

The summer window signing plan of the Turkish giant Galatasaray is facing up to a setback. According to German Sky Sports reporter Florian Plettenberg, the club has listed Porto goalkeeper Diogo Costa as a plan B target after Manchester City rejected the first offer of 8.6 million pounds. The 24-year-old Portuguese goalkeeper led the Portuguese Super League with a save success rate of 78.3% (Opta data), and its 20 million euro termination clause became the key to negotiations. It is worth noting that Manchester City's price for Ederson is as high as 21.6 million pounds, and the Brazilian's move to miss the last round of the Premier League roster was interpreted as a precursor to the transfer by the Manchester Evening News. The domino effect in the transfer market is emerging. Paris Saint-Germain goalkeeper Donaluma suddenly entered Manchester City's radar. According to the source of the "Team", the two sides have reached a principled agreement on personal terms. The potential joining of the European Cup MVP may accelerate Ederson's departure - although there is a £14 million gap between Galatasaray's initial offer and Manchester City's psychological price. On the tactical level, Costa’s attack range (1.2 clearances per game outside the penalty area) is similar to Ederson (1.5 times), but the Portuguese’s 35.7% long pass success rate (StatsBomb) still has room for improvement compared to the Brazilian’s 42.1%.

The three-party game spanning Istanbul-Manchester-Paris has hidden mystery. If Ederson cannot be finalized by July 10, Galatasaray may be forced to activate Costa's termination fee, which will have a ripple effect on Porto's reconstruction plan this summer. Manchester City Sports Director Begiristan was photographed appearing in Paris, further confirming the Guardian's analysis of "Blue Moon is building a goalkeeper's replacement of double insurance." In terms of player wishes, Ederson unfollowed City's official details, perhaps more convincing than any transfer statement.
