Former Chelsea striker Diego Costa has signed for Atletico Mineiro on a free transfer.
The 32-year-old has signed contract that will see him remain with the Brazilian outfit until December 2022.
Costa spent the last eight months without a club, having decided to cut ties with Atletico Madrid midway through the 2020-21 campaign, and has opted to return to his country of birth after a 16-year career in European football.
Atletico Mineiro have confirmed the striker's arrival in an official statement on their website, which reads: "Diego Costa is a Galo player.
Costa rejoined Atletico Madrid from Chelsea on a permanent three-and-a-half-year contract in January 2018, but left Wanda Metropolitano six months before the end of the agreement.
"The athletic board and the player reached an agreement today. Galo will be his first club as a professional athlete in Brazil."
