Atletico Madrid confirm termination of Diego Costa contract to end Spain striker's second spell at club.The 32-year-old cited personal reasons for wanting to leave Wanda Metropolitano after being excused from training, having also made it clear that he had no intention of signing an extension.
What was the issue? I haven’t been following La Liga too much this season. Is he not performing too well or is it just because he’s on big wages & isn’t justifying them so Atleti thought best to terminate the contract?
He asked Atletico to terminate his contract. Maybe he fell out with Diego Simone but that's my speculation. He fell out with Chelsea managers dramatically in the past.
The media is being vague about the reasons for his termination and they're all saying it's for personal reasons. Usually when a player is leaving for personal reasons it means they don't like the club they're playing in anymore. It's definitely not Atletico cutting weights of cash from it's hot air balloon, in fact that made it easier to agree to terminate him when he asked them to let him go.
