Ricardo Costa is on his way out of Mestalla with several clubs showing keen interest. West Ham, Trabzonspor and Real Betis are keeping tabs on the disgruntled player.
The Portuguese defender has been told by manager Unai Emery that he does not feature in his long term plans. The former http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/FC-Porto-c39186 player has seen himself marginalised in Los Che setup, following the purchases of Victor Ruiz and Adil Rami.
Despite having little opportunities at the Mestalla in the current campaign, the experienced stopper has plenty of suitors willing for his signature.
English Premier League club West Ham United have shown their interest, while Turkish side http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Trabzonspor-c40759 is also monitoring his situation. However, it has been reported that Real Betis is his favoured destination.
Betis’ signing of http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Ricardo-Costa-c30980 is taking shape at a steady pace, and they are primed to take the defender to Benito Villamarin.
The 30-year old has stated that he would welcome the opportunity to further his stay in http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/England-c749.
Real Betis’ Cape Verdean right-back, Nelson http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Costa-c9458 to the humble Spanish club.
In addition, the announcement by http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Braulio-c8019 Vazquez, is a good omen for the Primera Division minnows. He stated that Los Che are unwilling to send the player on loan and are willing to listen to offers.
However, he did not refuse to rule out the possibility of the player continuing with the current roster.
"We will not rush with the player. Betis' interest is real, but we know there are also other teams and we are in various competitions. So far, we have to wait and see what happens," Vazquez stated.
It has been reported that Costa will communicate his decision to Unai Emery on Thursday, when Los Che squad resumes training.
The relationship between the defender and coach has softened recently, but the situation remains complicated. Costa is fifth in the pecking order, behind http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Victor-Ruiz-c36094 and Angel Dealbert.
With the player looking for a place in Portugal’s Euro 2012 squad, possibility of continuation looks remote as the winter transfer window approaches.
