Diego Costa, next to Santiago Arias, was the great novelty in the return to work of the Atlético de Madrid this Tuesday, after the rest day granted by the coaching staff to the squad. The two South American players, who tested positive for coronavirus during their vacations, have already tested negative on two occasions, so they have already been able to rejoin the group dynamics.
But apart from training again, Coast made headlines for the impromptu meeting held with Miguel Angel Gil Marin before the training started. The CEO came to the Majadahonda Sports City to follow the rojiblanco team session first hand.
And wanted to talk to Diego Costa. The leader accompanied the soccer player on the way to the training field, and before arriving, both stopped to deepen their talk. About 15 minutes of conversation, both wearing a mask and gesturing.
It should be remembered that the forward is on the list of transferable of the rojiblanco club in this market. What's more, in the Metropolitan they want to transfer the player, who has one more year left on his contract and who has one of the highest chips in the squad.
That, together with his irregular performance since he returned to Atlético, make him a candidate to leave the entity although, for the moment, there is no decent offer. The player is aware of the intentions of the entity.
INTEREST OF THE FENERBAHCE
In the last hours, various Turkish media ensure that Fenerbahce has set its eyes on the mattress striker. The Turkish club has transferred to Vedat Muriqi to Lazio for just under 20 million euros, an amount that could go to the signing of the Spanish-Brazilian.
The new sports director of the Fenerbahce it is Emre Belozoglu, who played for Atlético and shared a dressing room with Diego Costa. The media of the Ottoman country report that they have already spoken by phone, with the desire of the now leader to convince the footballer to head to Istanbul.
