Diego Costa’s career took an unexpected direction in 2021. With the beginning of the year his contract expired, which forced the Spaniard to look for a new club. However, he failed for six months and finally made the decision to move to Brazil and join Atletico Mineiro.
Sensational return to Europe. Diego Costa will join Franck Ribery
He only signed a six-month contract with the Brazilian club and was supposed to help them win the championship. The mission was successful. Atletico claimed their second ever title, and Costa had his share of it. The experienced forward has played 15 league games, scoring four goals and one assist.
With the end of the tournament, Diego Costa’s contract expired, which he did not decide to extend. The Spaniard decided to look for a challenge for himself in Europe and everything indicates that he has succeeded. According to the latest reports of the daily “Il Mattino”, the 33-year-old reached an agreement with the newcomer of Serie A – Salernitana. The experienced striker is due to sign only a six-month contract recently.
Costa was not convinced by the move as Campania is last in the league and faces a tough relegation fight this spring. However, the Spaniard changed his mind after insistent persuasion from the CEO of Salernitana – Walter Sabatini, who was already interested in bringing the 33-year-old during his work in Bologna. Thus, the newcomer managed to bring in another experienced player who is known all over the world. Earlier, Franck Ribery also joined Stefano Colantuono’s team. Left-back Paweł Jaroszyński also plays in Salernitan.
