Mercato: why Diego Costa will not sign with the Greens

Did the Greens miss the big blow of this transfer window? In search of a striker, AS Saint-Étienne has been offered the services of Diego Costa. The 33-year-old Spanish international striker has been free since the end of his contract with Atlético Mineiro (Brazil) in early January.

According to the club, the player was not really interested in a freelance job in Forez and his salary expectations, more than 300,000 euros gross monthly, were totally out of reach of Saint-Etienne finances. A substantial salary for a player who no longer has the luster of his period with the Colchoneros and who scored only 2 goals during the 2020/2021 season and only 4 goals during his time in Brazil between September and December of Last year.

Crivelli while waiting for Rémy?

The solid striker of Brazilian origin will therefore not be the scorer so much sought after by the Greens during this transfer window. Enzo Crivelli, seen this Saturday in a restaurant in the State, would hold the rope but the formalization of his transfer will not take place before this Monday, the last day of the transfer window. AS Saint-Étienne would also work on the arrival of Loïc Rémy. The 35-year-old former Lyonnais could also engage in the last hours of the transfer market which closes this Monday at midnight.
