Liverpool Target Diego Costa Will Triple His Wages If He Moves to Anfield: Daily Soccer Report

Atletico Madrid striker Diego Costa would triple his wages if he decides to join Liverpool, says Spanish newspaper Marca.

The paper reports that Portugese agent Jorge Mendes is shopping Diego Costa around English Premier League clubs, touting that Diego Costa’s release clause is just £21.7million. The Brazilian striker is being chased by Liverpool, who have offered the player the opportunity to triple his wages by moving to Anfield. But whether the player decides to leave or not, we’ll have to wait and see. If a substantial offer comes in, Atletico would be tempted to let him go since he has only two years left on his contract.
