Manchester United target Diogo Costa is set for a Premier League move this summer, according to reports in Portugal.
Porto star Costa seemed to wave the club's fans goodbye as they fell short of winning the Primeira Liga title in their final league game on Saturday.
Sergio Conceicao's side won 3-0 but so did rivals Benfica, who took the championship by two points.
As reported by Portuguese outlet A Bola, Portugal's first-choice stopper Costa now looks poised to move to English football.
And United are said to be willing to pay the 23-year-old's £65million release clause.
The 12-cap international is managed by super-agent Jorge Mendes, who enjoys significant influence in England and could help broker a move.
Dragons' No 99 Costa may also join international team-mates Bruno Fernandes and Diogo Dalot at Old Trafford.
Costa, first choice for Porto this season, at one point went an incredible 16 matches without conceding a goal.
Porto let in 22 goals this season, the second-best defence in the league, behind only title winners Benfica, who conceded 20.
The news comes amid doubts about David de Gea's future as No 1 at Old Trafford.
De Gea won the Golden Glove award for the most clean sheets in a Premier League season but has made several costly mistakes this season.
Mail Sport's Simon Jones reported on Monday that the Spaniard has agreed a new contract on less than £375,000-per-week but the club have not yet signed off on it.
Manager Erik ten Hag is keen to add a goalkeeper to his squad and it appears Costa could well be that man.

we don't care with the opposing fans or the women team he is not going to take part at women side no they must let the boy came and help the ship from the muddy tog.
The image of the club comes first, thats why it’s taking longer to reinstate him back , I prefer Greenwood over Rashford but the situation is complicated

Go ahead and sign him because De Gea must have a real competitor due to his costly mistakes at times and he should not be guaranteed first choice because it has to be performance based selection.

It's a must to buy Kim, khvicha, diogo Costa, Ramos goncalo and mount this transfer summer. Play Sancho at left flank, sell Maguire, martial, elanga, van de beek, Jones, Fred, etc.

Eric wants Greenwood but he can’t do anything because some sponsors will try to withdraw their support , greenwood will also face abuse from the opposing fans, manutd female side have also threaten if Greenwood should be allowed back into the squad
