    WHAT COSTA'S AGENT SAID

    "The immediate goals right now are the CAF Champions League and Club World Cup for now, and after that we will see what happens, but for now that is the only thing on Lucas’ mind, to do as best as he can to win for Sundowns,” the agent identified as A. Driss told iDiski Times.

    "He’s happy in South Africa; who can’t see what happens in the future? He is really committed to helping Sundowns win the Champions League and compete at the FIFA Club World Cup. Now is not the time to think about his future; it’s not the end of his career," he continued.

Even yesterday (Tuesday), he said the same thing," he added.
