Atletico Madrid He wants to leave the club
Diego Costa he did not train with his own Atletico Madrid teammates on Monday as they complete their departure from the club.
The Brazilian-born striker informed colchoneros on Sunday, he wants to end his contract six months earlier due to family problems, and his agreement will be valid until June 30.
Thus, not being present at the penultimate training session before Atletico take with Getafe, this is clear Costthe intention not to stay. Rojiblancos gave him permission to miss the session.
The year 2020 was not an easy one for the 32-year-old. He started with a hernia problem, then came the pandemic and ended the 2019/20 campaign with the highest number of league goals in a season since returning to the club – five. A disappointing comeback for a Atletico forward.
The 2020/21 season has not started at its best for Cost either, with Luis SuarezHis arrival signaling that he will have to play the second fiddle. He was not satisfied with this, although a muscle injury and a thrombosis prevented him from being able to drive the Uruguayan from the starting line. Until this season, Cost scored two goals.
Now, a family matter has forced him to ask the club if he can conclude his contract prematurely. It does not seem likely that both sides will return now, as indicated by his absence from training on Monday. Everything indicates that Costthe second spell at Atletico is coming to an abrupt end.
