However acquiring the Brazi’ international could be complicated.

The 31-year-old’s agreement with Grêmio stipulated that the player cannot join another team in Brazil, according to Rádio Guaíba reporter Rafael Pfeiffer.

The termination of the agreement is said to have been amicable, opening the door for Flamengo to negotiate with the winger although it is understood that a deal won’t be easily reached.

Costa is said to prefer a move within his native country as he fights to get back into the Seleção set-up ahead of the Fifa World Cup in Qatar.
