Rio de Janeiro, August 12, 2023 - Botafogo has pulled off a masterstroke by signing the Spanish-Brazilian striker, Diego Costa. This news comes as a breath of fresh air for Botafogo supporters who've been waiting for their team to amp up their game.
Diego Costa, a man with a resume as long as the Amazon river, has agreed to lace up his boots and strut his stuff with the alvinegra squad until the end of 2023. You might be wondering, "Why the end of 2023?" Well, that's when we'll all find out if he's planning to continue with Botafogo or if he's just here for the Brazilian barbecue.
The 34-year-old striker is no newbie to the soccer arena. Hailing from Lagarto, Brazil, this football magician has dazzled in Portugal, Spain, and England with his fancy footwork and goal-scoring antics. And let's not forget his dual citizenship, having played for the Spanish national team in not one, but two World Cups (2014 and 2018). Talk about having your cleats in two different boats!
Diego Costa isn't a stranger to Brazilian fields either. He kicked it up a notch with Atlético Mineiro in 2021, leaving a mark that even the Amazon rainforest couldn't wash away. Before that, he had a little tea party in England, sipping it up with Wolverhampton.
Fernando Diego da Silva Costa, as his birth certificate would say, was born on a fine day in 1988. That makes him 34, in case you're not a math genius. He's been quite the globetrotter, making stops in clubs like Penafiel and SC Braga in Portugal, and Celta de Vigo and Atlético de Madrid in Spain, among others. Let's not forget his cup collection, which includes everything from European Super Cups to Brazilian Championships. Clearly, he's been raiding the trophy cabinets wherever he's gone.
