Former Chelsea striker, Diego Costa signs for Atletico Mineiro on free transfer
Former Atletico Madrid and Chelsea striker, Diego Costa has signed for Brazilian Serie A side Atletico Mineiro after eight months without a club.
Â
Costa, 32, has been a free agent since Atletico Madrid terminated his contract six months before its expiration date last December, with the Spaniards citing 'personal reasons' for the move.Â
Â
Following the termination of his contract, Costa was allowed to join any side as a free agent and was linked with several clubs.
Â
On Sunday, Atletico Mineiro confirmed the striker's arrival in an official statement on their website, which reads: "Diego Costa is a Galo player.
Â
"The athletic board and the player reached an agreement today. Galo will be his first club as a professional athlete in Brazil."
Â
Â
The Spain International rejoined Atletico Madrid from Chelsea on a permanent three-and-a-half-year contract in January 2018, but left Wanda Metropolitano six months before the end of the agreement.
