“Atletico de Madrid and Diego Costa have reached an
agreement for the termination of the striker’s contract, which was to end on
June 30, 2021,” the club said in a statement.
The 32-year-old Brazilian-born forward, who has been capped
24 times by Spain after twice appearing in friendlies for the country of his
birth, had asked to leave the club for “personal reasons”.
Costa arrived at Atletico in 2006 at the age of 17, going on
to play 215 matches over two spells (2010-14 and then 2018-20) either side of
three seasons at Chelsea, scoring 83 goals and providing 36 assists.
During his time at Atletico, Costa was part of a squad that
won one La Liga title in the 2013-14 season, one Copa del Rey (2013), one Europa
League (2018) and two UEFA Super Cups (2010 and 2018).
“The club thanks Diego Costa for his dedication during these
years and wishes him well in the next stage of his professional career,” the
club said.
