The prolific striker has not played since last December when he abruptly left La Liga
Diego Costa and Atletico Mineiro have verbally agreed to a one-year contract worth roughly $3 million, Goal can confirm.
The player, who left Atletico Madrid last December, is expected in Belo Horizonte in the coming days to undergo medical examinations and sign the deal, which is structured similarly to the one Atletico Mineiro gave Hulk.
Costa's signing was made financially possible by the departures of Bueno, Gabriel, Diego Tardelli and Marrony.
