Diego Costa might join Salernitana

DBasia.news – Diego Costa was rumored to enliven the second half of Serie A 2021-2022. However, it would almost certainly fail to happen.

Costa had become Salernitana’s main target in the transfer market this winter. The promoted team did need to add new players to avoid the relegation zone.

Salernitana are currently still stranded in the relegation zone. From 22 matches, Stefano Colantuono’s team has only packed 10 points.

Salernitana are 8 points behind the safety zone. This condition has made them have to start regularly obtaining points in the remaining matches.

Salernitana intends to sign Costa. The player is a free transfer after parting with Atletico Mineiro.

Despite being 33 years old, Costa’s experience will be very useful for Salernitana. Moreover, there are many aging strikers who have shown good performance in Serie A.

According to a report by Sky Sport Italia, Salernitana and Costa’s agent have already held negotiations. However, an agreement was not reached in the end.

Salernitana are said to have doubted Costa’s physical condition. They are looking forward for the player to be in ideal body condition.

Another reason for the cancellation of this transfer is because of Costa himself. The former Chelsea player is not interested in strengthening a small team like Salernitana.
