Diego Costa offered €3m-per-year contract at Benfica

Former Atletico Madrid and Chelsea striker Diego Costa has been offered a €3 million-per-year contract at Benfica, Goal can confirm.

Costa is currently on the lookout for a new club, having seen his request to terminate his contract at Wanda Metropolitano granted at the end of December.

Benfica are now seeking to bolster their attacking options by adding the Spaniard to their ranks ahead of the 2021-22 campaign, having already made contact with the striker to lay down their terms.
