Palmeiras boss Abel Ferreira has labelled transfer links with Diego Costa as "propaganda", insisting that there has been "absolutely no negotiation" to bring the ex-Atletico Madrid striker to Allianz Parque.
Costa has been on the lookout for a new club since leaving Atletico in December, but has yet to settle on his next destination amid rumoured interest from a number of clubs across the globe.
Palmeiras are the latest outfit being tipped to bring in the 32-year-old, with reports that the Brazilian giants have offered him a two-year deal - but Ferreira insists that no contact has been made.
