New Delhi: Former Bayern Munich and Juventus winger Douglas Costa has made headlines with two major announcements in just a few days, grabbing the attention of football fans and social media followers alike. First, the 33-year-old Brazilian footballer was unveiled as the latest marquee signing for Australian club Sydney FC. Costa joins the A-League after playing in Europe, the United States, and Brazil, and hopes to follow in the footsteps of Italian legend Alessandro del Piero, who also made a name for himself in Australian football. With 33 international caps for Brazil, Costa’s arrival is expected to boost Sydney FC’s profile.
Just days after this news, Costa made another significant announcement, but this time it was in the digital world. The former star of European football revealed that he has launched a profile on the subscription-based platform OnlyFans. Known for being associated with adult content, OnlyFans has recently been expanding its horizons, attempting to attract creators from other industries, including sports. Costa is now part of a growing list of athletes who have created accounts on the platform, following in the footsteps of tennis player Nick Kyrgios and boxer Derek Chisora.

Costa’s OnlyFans page, which has been live since August 8, offers exclusive content to his followers. Currently, the page is free to view and includes photos from his time playing for top clubs like Bayern Munich and Juventus, as well as videos of him training, including a clip of him boxing. His decision to join OnlyFans seems to align with the platform’s broader strategy of signing athletes as brand ambassadors to broaden its appeal beyond its original niche.
This move mirrors a growing trend among athletes who want to connect more directly with their fans. Cristiano Ronaldo, Costa’s former teammate at Juventus, recently launched his own YouTube channel, which gained millions of subscribers within days. While Ronaldo is using YouTube to stay close to his fans, Costa is taking a different route by using OnlyFans to share exclusive, behind-the-scenes content.
With his football career now continuing in Australia and his new social media venture taking off, Douglas Costa is exploring new ways to connect with fans, both on and off the pitch.
