Wolverhampton will begin negotiations with Spanish-Brazilian striker Diego Costa, who is on a free at the age of 33, after Sasa Kalajdzic, who they signed on Thursday’s deadline day of the market, suffered a serious cruciate ligament injury on Saturday in his debut.
Kalajdzic, signed from Stuttgart for 18 million euros, started on Saturday in the Premier match Wolves beat Southampton (1-0), but had to retire at half-time after injuring himself in the final moments of the first half .
Today Wolves confirmed that the 25-year-old Austrian striker has torn the anterior cruciate ligament in one knee and tomorrow, Monday, he will be visited by a specialist, but a long time away from the pitch awaits him.
Kalajdzic was brought in to compete for a starting role alongside Raúl Jiménez but the Mexican missed the game against Southampton after dropping out of the starting eleven in the warm-up after experiencing discomfort in his groin. He barely trained in pre-season due to a knee injury, which is why Wolves chose not to take any chances and has only just recovered.
On Tuesday, medical examination
Because of this situation and because Wolves are the least successful team in the Premier with only 3 goals in 6 games, the board is looking for reinforcement in attack and its target is Diego Costa, the former striker for at Atlético Madrid, Rayo and Chelsea, among other teams, released from Atlético Mineiro in January.
During the summer market his name sounded strong to return to Rayo, but now his fate may be in England. Diego Costa will travel on Tuesday and undergo a Wolves medical. If he passes it, he will sign and begin his second spell in the Premier League. With Chelsea he played from 2014 to 2017.
