FC Barcelona almost had the sensational Diogo Costa signed!

Diogo Coast was the saviour of Cristiano Ronaldo, of Pepe and of all Portugal. The goalkeeper luso shined in the straight final of the party in front of Slovenia by the eighth of final of the Eurocopa. On the closing of the extention, Benjamin Šandško had an opportunity inmejorable, but the guardameta of the Port wine attained a covered sensacional to pull the definition to the batch of penaltis, in which lució with three cut across in the three shots that executed him the eslovenos.

With a lot of projection from his arrival to the first team of the Port wine, and to the Portuguese selection, the footballer of 24 years was very near to change of airs when it began to consolidate in the first team of the 'dragons'. And it is that in January of 2022, when the goal of the FC Barcelona was custodiada by Ter Stegen and Net, the Barcelona group had the option to do with the services of Diogo Coast.

The Barça had all very directed for fichar to Diogo Coast

Like this it has remembered it the journalist Bruno Alemany of 'BE', signalling that during the past of winter of that year, in the middle of the season 2021/22, the goalkeeper title of the selection of Portugal was to 'shot' to turn into Barcelona player. The alternative of fichar to the luso resulted of the possibility that Net abandoned the club, what would leave him to Diogo like second of Ter Stegen of face to the future. In fact, the negotiation was totally directed by some 15 million euros, but the little economic liquidity of the Barça for that date finished braking the operation.

Besides, like sucedió in other opportunities, Net did not want to move in that moment and neither the club had offers of clubs that could do charge of his high index card, at least to the end of that season. At the end, Ter Stegen and Net completed the season 2021-22 and the one who was yielded to the Galatasaray was Iñaki Crag, whereas the Brazilian would finish leaving in August to the Bournemouth with the letter of freedom.

The way could have been distinct for all the involved

For then the price of Diogo Coast already had gone up and had moved away of the Barça of definite form, especially because it aimed to be the headline of Portugal in the World-wide of Qatar, a tournament in which it left some doubts, as in that so much that fit in front of Morocco and that finish meaning the elimination of the group luso in quarter-finals. Like this the things, Ter Stegen could be competing right now with the big hero of Portugal in this Eurocopa, or perhaps the Barça already could have it planted in the market if the luso had showed sufficient security in his available minutes.
