Diogo Costa linked with Liverpool as Alisson successor, nothing concrete yet

The situation

Liverpool are being linked with Diogo Costa as a long-term answer to their goalkeeping question, with Alisson Becker's contract running out next summer. FootballTransfers says Liverpool want the Porto goalkeeper as their replacement for Alisson, and puts an asking price of €40m on the move. That is a want, not an approach, and nothing in the reporting suggests Porto have received a bid. This is being framed as business for next year, not a January deal, since Alisson's situation only resolves at the end of this season.

The reporting

The story rests on two outlets, and they amount to one voice. FootballTransfers published first on 8 November 2026, and CaughtOffside was carrying it by 8 November, repeating the same claim rather than adding fresh detail. No trusted reporter has backed any of it, so this sits as tabloid and aggregator territory for now.

The outlook

Given that framing, this looks unlikely to move in January. No window is open for the Premier League today, and the next opens on 1 January 2027 and shuts on 1 February. Costa has 42 months left on his Porto contract once that window opens, running to 30 June 2030, so Porto are under no pressure to sell. With only a loosely sourced want in the open, this is a long way from a deal, and the timeline points to next summer if it ever advances at all.
