Diego Costa is getting closer and closer to a highly anticipated return to Brazilian soccer. Despite being one of Wolverhampton’s most valuable players, he decided to leave the club at the end of last season. Now, the 34-year-old seems determined to return to his home country, despite having received offers from other European leagues and Saudi Arabia.
According to journalist Carlos Berbert, Vasco da Gama are undoubtedly the favorites to secure the services of the Spanish-Brazilian player. The club has already made a formal and attractive offer for the next two years, which includes a notably higher wage bill than the usual salaries in the Brasileirão.
During the previous season, Diego Costa emerged as a key and indispensable figure in Julen Lopetegui’s Wolverhampton team, exceeding everyone’s expectations. Although he only scored one goal in the Premier League, his contributions went beyond simply scoring goals. He had a significant impact on the team on a collective level, masterfully creating chances for his teammates and leading the pressing game from the front with determination.
At the same time, Brazilian journalist Lucas Pedrosa revealed that Diego Costa has been meticulously and anxiously searching for the perfect home in Rio de Janeiro, preparing for the long-awaited move with his entire family.
Despite his fervent desire to return to his home country, Diego Costa’s destiny will be a long way from his quiet hometown of Lagarto. To reach this new and exciting destination, he and his family will have to make a 25-hour journey along the Brazilian coast.
In general, the prospect of Diego Costa’s return to Brazilian soccer has aroused the enthusiasm of fans across the country. While he is contemplating offers from several leagues, Vasco da Gama look set to secure the services of this skillful striker, promising a fascinating chapter in his illustrious soccer career.
