The Spanish striker cut short his contract with the Spanish capital side and is now a free agent heading into 2021. Citing personal reasons the club and the player have split amicably in a mutual manner. Diego Costa’s contract tied him down at the club until June 2021 but no exact reason has been given for his termination of contract.

Napoli asking £15 million for Arkadiusz Milik

The Polish striker is reportedly being targeted by Atletico Madrid as Diego Costa’s departure would mean that Luis Suarez would be the lone striker. Luis Suarez is known for his injuries and has also approached old age and therefore a new investment is needed by Atletico Madrid. Arkadiusz Milik is just 26 years of age and will be a valuable investment for the Spanish capital side.

Originally there were reports that Arkadiusz Milik was involved in a threeway deal with Roma and Juventus that would see Roma’s Edin Dzeko move to Juventus and Milik to move to Roma. However the deal fell through as Napoli and Arkadiusz Milik couldn’t reach an agreement. Now the Naples side is asking for 15 million for his transfer to Atletico Madrid. Whether the club will pay for him remains to be seen as they could choose to wait on Luis Suarez and play Joao Felix as a forward.
