Diego Costa Set to Join Luis Suarez's Former Club Nacional
Former Atlético Madrid and Chelsea striker Diego Costa is in advanced talks to join Uruguay's Nacional, the club where Luis Suarez began his career.
Diego Costa, the 36-year-old Brazilian striker renowned for his tenures at Atlético Madrid and Chelsea, is poised to continue his career in Uruguay with Nacional Montevideo. Following the conclusion of his contract with Grêmio, where he netted eight goals and provided five assists in 26 appearances during 2024, Costa is now a prime target for Nacional. Flavio Perchman, the club's vice president, confirmed their interest in an interview with Globo Esporte, stating that Costa's experience and goal-scoring prowess make him an ideal candidate to bolster their attacking lineup.
Nacional, famously known as the starting point for Luis Suarez's illustrious career, aims to rejuvenate its squad after a challenging season. The potential addition of Costa underscores the club's commitment to enhancing its offensive capabilities. While Lucas Alario was also considered, negotiations have been complex, making Costa a more viable option. As Nacional seeks to reclaim its dominance in Uruguayan football, the acquisition of a seasoned striker like Costa could be instrumental in achieving their objectives.
