free in ball market after negotiating the amicable termination with the Atlético-MG, striker Diego Costa is in the crosshairs of Corinthians. The name of shirt 9 pleases the top of the Parque São Jorge club and, although his annual income is around R$ 16 million, Alvinegro is studying to present a salary offer to the player with values compatible with those paid by Galo last season .
Corinthians has not yet met with Diego Costa’s representatives to start negotiations, but is aware that the athlete’s desire is to return to Europe. Even the athlete’s staff claims to have received a proposal from Spain and surveys from other clubs in the Old Continent. In the last year, during the striker’s stay in Belo Horizonte, his family remained in Madrid, and the wishes of his wife and children could weigh in on the decision.
President Duilio Monteiro Alves is aware of the problem and intends to present a project to Diego Costa for the World Cup dispute Liberators. Corinthians has invested heavily in recent months with the signing of Paulinho, Willian, Giuliano, Roger Guedes and Renato Augusto and is working to resume its leading role on the national scene.
Atlético-MG paid something around R$ 1.4 million to have Diego Costa in their squad. The values are considered high by the standards of the football Brazilian, but the board of Corinthians understands that it can offer contractual triggers that interest the athlete and approach the amounts paid by the Rooster. This is because, with the termination agreed with Galo, Timão would not have to pay anything to hire the player. In addition, the board has a commercial partner to pay the center forward’s salaries.
For more than a month, Alvinegro has been on the market looking for a renowned number 9 to be the reference for their offensive system. Cavani’s name is still at the top of the list, but the Uruguayan’s delay in receiving an answer and the interest of the Manchester United in keeping him in England make negotiations difficult. In this scenario and with Diego Costa free, Corinthians intends to make an offer in the coming days.
The club has already consulted its commercial partners and received a positive signal to start talks with the striker.
