Diego Costa, at a crossroads

Diego Costa is not assured of his continuity at Atlético Mineiro. The Spanish-Brazilian striker, who joined the Belo Horizonte team last August, could end his journey in the Brazilian team after first becoming champion of the Brasileirao and, a few days ago, winning the Copa do Brasil. Diego Costa has played a total of 19 meetings with Gaul in the 2020/2021 season, in which he has scored 5 goals and distributed 1 assist. Despite the fact that the former Atlético de Madrid striker has managed to reconnect with football in his native country, he already declared weeks ago that his future could be far from Atlético Mineiro. After being known that Corinthians could be his new destination, since from Brazil they affirmed that “Corinthians has received the information that Diego Costa has agreed to move to Parque São Jorge”, the Brazilian media also echo that the conditions of his departure would be different depending on whether Diego Costa decides to stay in his native country or return to Europe.

“Despite having recently declared to SportTV who planned to fulfill his contract with Atlético Mineiro, it is still not possible to be sure that the center forward will wear Galo’s shirt in 2022. According to the journalist Jorge Nicola, on his YouTube channel, Diego Costa can change alvinegro “, reports the Brazilian media fans on the future of the Spanish-Brazilian striker. Likewise, from the portal they affirm that Diego Costa’s situation is complicated since Atlético Minero would only consider terminating the contract of the 33-year-old player if it were to sign for a European team, while if Diego Costa ends up staying in Brazil to sign for Corinthians, Gaul will sit down to negotiate his signing. “Now the most complicated thing remains, which is to negotiate with Atlético Mineiro. Those in charge of Atlético agree to terminate their contract whenever they return to Europe. To stay in Brazil, Atlético wants financial compensation.”reported journalist Jorge Nicola.
