Diego Costa was away from the pitch for almost 8 months. Since his last game with the Atlético de Madrid shirt – against Real Sociedad on December 22, 2020 – the now 33-year-old player had to wait until last August for his arrival at Atlético Mineiro de la Brazilian league. In his native land, Diego Costa has not only found himself with football, but, a few days ago, he was proclaimed champion of the Brasileirao with his current club. But the former rojiblanco striker, who signed with the Galo team until December 2022, could change of scene again. From Brazil they point out that neither the club nor the player are sure that Diego Costa will continue in Atlético Mineiro, although he could stay in the Brazilian league.
O Globo Esporte informs that Corinthians, a team that has been ranked fourth this season in the Brasileirao, would have become an option for Diego Costa. And it is that, in the words of the Spanish-Brazilian forward himself, “Next year a lot can happen. I may stay, I may go”. But in addition to the player’s statements, Atlético Mineiro has a main problem: his salary. The salary of the former rojiblanco is high, higher than that of players such as Renato Augusto, Giuliano, Róger Guedes or Willian according to the Brazilian press, so Diego Costa’s still club could choose to search the market in search of a free player that implies a lower investment.
Diego Costa has finished the course with 18 games played, 5 goals and 1 assist to his credit. But although “the board admits that the club’s priority in this transfer window is a high-level center forward”, as stated O Globo Esporte, At the moment there are no negotiations between the Spanish-Brazilian and Atlético Mineiro. After many months in ostracism, and despite his 33 years, Diego Costa has found himself in Brazil, so in addition to a possible continuity in the South American country, it is not ruled out that the former player of the mattress box will seek his fortune in Europe again. .
