The arrival of reinforcements to the teams that will play in MLS 2022 continues and the net worth of Douglas Costa that the LA Galaxy would have to pay to play with Javier "Chicharito" Hernádez is already known.
The player is also wanted by Cruz Azul of Liga MX, but the team where Javier Hernandez Balcazar plays is still the one who seems to have the advantage for his signing.
And although Costa has not been playing in European soccer for some time, his value has not deteriorated as much as people might think.
Even with the fact that his return to Brazil to play for Gremio could not prevent them from relegation.
With all this context, one would expect his net worth to be much lower than expected, but the truth is that even with what happened in Brazil, the player is still highly valued.
It has been known for weeks about the interest of the Californian team to get the player, but if they want him to play with Chicharito as his teammate, they will have to pay his net value, which is more than 4 million 459 thousand 580 dollars.
Although the figure does not seem exorbitant, it should be remembered that when the player went on to play for Juventus his net worth was more than 6 million dollars, so although his price has dropped, it still reflects the performance that a player of his level could bring to a team.
The 31-year-old Brazilian winger left his last team, Gremio of Porto Alegre after a season in which he endured all sorts of misfortunes: from injuries and extra-sporting issues to the team's unfortunate relegation to the Brazilian second division.
Once the relegation occurred, everything pointed to the player seeking to leave the team to try to relaunch his career and although this version was initially denied, his departure from the club was later confirmed.
It was the president of Gremio, Romildo Bolzan, who clarified that the player's departure was done without conflict. In his words:
"The situation developed towards [the player's] departure and it was consensual, an exit that was natural."
And because of this situation, the player immediately came on the radar of several teams that want him, among them the LA Galaxy.
And everything points to the fact that the player is days away from confirming his transfer and arrival to Major League Soccer, where he would play for the Californian team, thus becoming a partner in Javier "Chicharito" Hernandez's attack.
Costa's performance at Gremio was not as strong as when he was playing in the Ukrainian Premier League for Shakhtar Donetsk, where he was more consistent.
During that period, the player played 141 games in which he scored 29 goals and provided 30 assists, figures that would not be matched in his time with teams such as Juventus or Bayern Munich.
However, being a partner of players like "Chicharito", it is likely that his goal-scoring instinct can live a second wind.
