At the beginning of November, we gave you a list of 10 forwards who could help out many clubs. Meanwhile, Mario Balotelli signed at Monza and Fabio Borini spun to Turkey. All the others like Mario Mandzukic, Alexandre Pato or Daniel Sturridge are still on the market. And with the end of 2020, other illustrious scorers have been added to the list of free players. Here are five new players who would delight many European clubs!
Diego Costa (32 years old, ex-Atlético de Madrid):
At 32, Diego Costa has been free as air since the termination of his contract at the end of December with Atlético de Madrid. The Spanish international striker who is no longer as sharp as before remains over 3 and a half complicated seasons with the Colchoneros with only fifteen goals scored in 60 La Liga games. If he is free, his situation is rather special. To put it simply, there is a penalty clause which means that, if they join a club which plays the Champions League, the club concerned must pay Atlético € 15m. What to reduce the field of possibilities, even if for example, a club like the OL could very well afford it. But right now, if Tottenham and Wolverhampton are keeping an eye on him, it’s more the Middle East that is making his eyes soft. According to our information, Al-Hilal (Saudi Arabia) and Al-Shabab Riyad (Saudi Arabia) dream of attracting the 32-year-old striker.

But Porto decided to focus on Pepê (23 years old, Grêmio) and did not follow up.
