China says "no" to Costa... because of Jackson Martinez!

Diego Costa decided to end his contract with Atletico Madrid early. The club agreed and released the striker, who is looking for a destination.

There was speculation that he would end up at Guangzhou Evergrande. However, 'Marca' claims that the Chinese team have reportedly ruled out his possible transfer.

Guangzhou Evergrande, the Spanish newspaper says, fears that what happened to Jackson Martinez will happen to Diego Costa, that he will not adapt and does not yield results.

It should be noted that the case of Diego Costa could be very different. He would arrive at zero cost while Jackson Martínez cost 42 million euros. Their profiles are also very different. But in the Guangzhou Evergrande, says 'Marca', they do not want to risk it.

Jackson Martinez saw how injuries ended all possibility of triumphing in China. Diego Costa, already in his last stage in the Atlético, has also spent a lot of time in the infirmary, perhaps for that reason they would have chosen to look for another player's profile.
