La Salernitana closes Diego Costa and thinks of Pastore

Diego Costa is about to return to Europe. The former athlete, after his adventure at Atletico Mineiro, accepted the proposal from Salernitana, bottom of Serie A, which with its new sports director Walter Sabatini I was looking for profiles of experience and quality to seek a miraculous salvation. The striker will sign until June, with an option that would renew the bond for another year in case of permanence. The manager had already tried to get his services last summer, when he worked at Bologna, and now he has bet on him again. The Spanish-Brazilian, then, will form a prestigious and experienced striker alongside Ribéry, in a team that with the new directive is transforming.

La Salernitana, which belonged to the owner of Lazio Claudio Lotito, as of January 1 passed into the hands of Danilo Iervolino. The president chose Sabatini, who was looking for a new professional adventure after a very long career (Palermo, Rome, Inter, Bologna…) and got down to work.

The arrival of goalkeeper Sepe has already closed and, after Diego Costa (whose contracts should be completed tonight), he is also trying to sign Verdi from Torino and think of Javier Pastore. The Argentine is not having a leading role in Elche and would meet again with the manager, who took him to Europe when he worked at Palermo.
