Former Juventus and Bayern Munich winger Douglas Costa has joined the growing list of athletes and celebrities turning to OnlyFans, a platform traditionally known for its adult content.
Costa, who recently signed with Sydney FC in the Australian A-League, is keen to use the platform to connect with his fans in a new and unique way.
His account, which was reportedly created on August 8, 2024, features exclusive content such as personal photos, videos and behind-the-scenes glimpses into his daily life and career.
The 33-year-old Brazilian winger said he sees his partnership with OnlyFans as a promising opportunity.
« I believe in the credibility of the company and its potential for global reach “, Douglas Costa was quoted as saying by the Sydney Morning Herald.
In his first video post, he greeted his followers with a cheerful message in Portuguese, inviting them to follow his journey on and off the football pitch.
Unlike other personalities on the platform, the footballer has chosen not to share any explicit content, focusing instead on building a more personal connection with his audience.
