His representative, who is known as ‘A. Driss’, has revealed he has had many enquiries about Costa, but the player is fully committed to the club and their targets this season.

“The immediate goals right now is 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,” he 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.
“As you can imagine, for a player like Lucas, my phone has been ringing non-stop this season but what is important is for Lucas to be happy, to play at a club that suits him, that wins trophies and he is so happy to be here at Sundowns, even yesterday he said the same thing.”
