The "Calcio Mercato" website confirmed that Juventus is planning to strengthen its squad in the goalkeeper position during the upcoming summer transfer window, with Portuguese goalkeeper Diogo Costa emerging as one of the management's main targets.

Michel Di Gregorio is seen as completely unfit to take on the role of a long-term primary goalkeeper, while Mattia Perin is considered a reliable alternative despite his recent appearances as a starter. This has led Juventus to consider signing a new goalkeeper regardless of their qualification for the Champions League.

It is noted that coach Luciano Spalletti admires the Brazilian goalkeeper Alisson Becker, with whom he previously worked at Roma, but signing him would be complicated. Meanwhile, alternative options like Marco Carnesecchi are costly due to Atalanta's high demands and their desire to sell him outside Italy.

Diogo Costa, a player from Porto, is one of the strongest candidates, represented by the influential agent Jorge Mendes, who maintains close ties with Juventus, enhancing the likelihood of the deal's success.

However, FC Porto poses a significant obstacle, as their captain is valued at around 50 million euros after renewing his contract until 2030. Despite Mendes' ability to negotiate a price reduction, the deal will require a substantial financial commitment from Juventus as part of their team restructuring plan in preparation for the next season.
