Rio de Janeiro (Brazil), Aug 13 (Ians) Brazilian Serie A leaders Botafogo have reached an agreement to sign naturalised Spanish striker and former Chelsea star, Diego Costa until the end of the 2023 South American season, the Rio de Janeiro club has said.
The 34-year-old arrives as a free agent, having parted ways with English Premier League side Wolverhampton Wanderers in June. Diego Costa had lengthy stints in Spain and England, having played for clubs like Valladolid, Rayo Vallecano, Atletico Madrid, Chelsea and Wolverhampton Wanderers.
“Diego will arrive in Rio de Janeiro in the next few days to start his spell with the club,” read a statement on Botafogo’s official website on Saturday.
Costa, who was born in Brazil but became a Spanish citizen in 2013 and represented La Roja in two World Cups, had also reportedly attracted the interest of clubs in Europe, Saudi Arabia and at least one other Brazilian outfit.

Kelechi Iheanacho pulled a goal back against his former club with 15 minutes left to play

Now that’s more like it. Friday night’s riveting World Cup match-up between Portugal and Spain drew a bigger swath of the major European audience compared to Thursday’s Russia v Saudi Arabia kickoff. That match played in late-afternoon Thursday — and lacked the kind of star power we saw on the pitch last night in Sochi.
In Spain, where kickoff was 8Pm last night for La Roja, Mediaset’s Telecinco had 10.4M watching as Diego Costa scored twice and Nacho bagged one goal. That was good for a 68 share of the country’s viewing population, 2.5 times the Russia v Saudi Arabia kickoff.
In the UK, 7.4M checked out Portugal’s Cristiano Ronaldo as he scored — three times — the last off a free kick to tie Spain mid-way through the second half. With that goal, the striker now has 51 hat-tricks under his boot, and the 51st ever hat-trick of the tournament.
