Barcelona is closely monitoring Porto goalkeeper Diogo Costa as a long-term replacement for Marc-Andre ter Stegen, who is out for the season with a knee injury.
Costa, 25, has been admired by Barcelona's sporting director Deco for some time, indicating that the club is looking beyond just short-term cover for their future.
Despite initial interest when he was offered at a lower price, Costa's current valuation would be significantly higher due to his performances, especially following Euro 2024.
Following ter Stegen's knee injury, Barcelona may pursue other interim goalkeeper options, but maintaining interest in Costa for next summer highlights a strategic vision.
