The few minutes summed up with Colo Colo's jersey made Gabriel Costa's surroundings reflect on the possibility of leaving the Chilean league with a view to 2020. Of course, 'Cacique' is willing to lend the player from the Peruvian National Team or - in the best case scenario - sell him to protect his assets (he was bought for more than one million dollars), as Depor has learned.
From Chile, we were informed that Gabriel Costa's permanence in 'Cacique' would be conditioned to Mario Salas' permanence with a view to 2020. For now, the 'Comandante' is resisted by a group of fans, despite the fact that the results support him (they are in second position in the standings, 14 points behind the leader Universidad Católica).
In that context, a group of businessmen are trying to approach Gabriel Costa to Alianza Lima, who has already begun the team's planning for the next season. The 'intimos' already have several local and foreign players on their agenda, including 'Gaby'.
Mind you, there is still no official approach from Alianza Lima with Gabriel Costa, but a sector of the Advisory Committee sees the return of the national midfielder with good eyes and also trusts the good relationship that the 'intimo' club has with 'Cacique', thinking about a possible operation. However, everything seems to be very complicated for two main reasons.
a) Alianza Lima is not a club accustomed to paying loans in order to take care of the club's economy, which has improved over the years.
b) Alianza Lima is not a club accustomed to buying players.
At 29 years old, Gabriel Costa has become a national team player. And, without a doubt, he is aware that he will have to aim to be a starter in the coming months to continue to be considered by Ricardo Gareca with a view to the Qatar Qualifiers.
