Benfica was rumoured to have agreed on the signing of free agent and former Atletico Madrid & Chelsea striker Diego Costa for next season. The links were primarily established by Spanish publication Mundo Deportivo and suggested that Costa was all set to join the team in the summer. 

However, those rumours have been squashed by the club themselves in a very unusual situation posed by them, releasing an official statement to deny any and all such claims. Here is what the official release read:
