This is the information that has agitated the green web in recent hours. According to the team, Diego Costa was offered to ASSE, which rejected the advances of the 33-year-old striker, currently free.
Manu Lonjon went further by specifying that the problem was not financial, since the Spanish-Brazilian striker would have agreed to come for 80,000€ per month.
The reality is different, according to the details we were able to obtain. One of the player’s agents actually offered Diego Costa at AS Saint-Etienne. If the agent therefore saw the former Chelsea striker in particular, commit to France, this was not the case for the native of Lagarto who did not show his enthusiasm for this idea.
In addition, Costa would have recently refused a proposal from a Spanish club providing him with a salary of €300,000 per month. The file was much more complex than what was presented.
EDIT 11h14 : AS Saint-Étienne specifies that it does not have “made no offer to Diego Costa. Although his profile was offered by an intermediary, the player is not interested in the project and his salary expectations are inaccessible.”
