Internal duel at Besiktas for the signing of Diego Costa

Diego Costa, 32 years old, has been off the pitch since January and his signing for a European club could be closer and closer. The forward resigned from his contract with Atlético de Madrid six months ago and has been in Brazil training on his own ever since.

The future closest to former rojiblanco striker can pass through the Turkish Besiktas, with whom I had reached an agreement in principle 2.5 million euros per year, more a subscription premium of 1.5 million euros, although initially Diego Costa asked for 4 million euros a year.

But the problems come Besiktas coach Sergen Yalçın is not in favor of this signing, since it considers that Diego Costa's physical guarantees are not the best, taking into account that he has not stepped on a pitch for half a year. For its part, the president, Ahmet Nur Çebi, sees him as a great media signing that can excite the fans in a season where Besiktas will play Champions League.

In this situation, Technician arguments could prevail of the Black Eagles of Istanbul, who prefers a forward with other characteristics, which guarantees that they will respect injuries until the end of the season.

You have to remember the Diego Costa could not play just games in the last season with Atlético de Madridas it chained various muscle injuries and a thrombosis that kept him away from the playing fields. Even so, in his sports record he is recognized as champion of LaLiga 2020/2021 with the rojiblanco team.
