Alberto Costa: Paris Saint Germain named among admirers, deal far off

The situation

Alberto Costa's name is back in circulation, with Paris Saint Germain mentioned as one of several clubs weighing up a move for the Porto right-back. No window is open for Ligue 1 right now, so any deal would have to wait for January, which opens on 1 January 2027 and closes on 1 February 2027. Costa still has 42 months left on his Porto contract at that point, running to 30 June 2030, so Porto are under no pressure to sell and would control any negotiation from a position of strength.

The reporting

The story traces back to a report from fussball-news, relayed by CaughtOffside on 27 October 2026. That outlet's own report focuses mainly on Arsenal and Manchester United circling Costa, with Manchester City and Paris Saint Germain mentioned only in passing. No second voice is attached to the Paris Saint Germain angle specifically, so this sits as a single, thin link rather than anything corroborated.

The outlook

Given the sourcing and the lack of any transfer window currently open for Ligue 1, this looks a long shot for now. For it to move anywhere, Paris Saint Germain would need to firm up genuine interest once January arrives, and Porto would need a reason to consider business on a player under contract for years to come. Right now neither condition is visible.

What to watch

Watch for any fresh reporting once the January window actually opens, particularly whether a club beyond Arsenal and Manchester United firms up concrete terms rather than general interest.
