Douglas Costa says he hopes to redefine the OnlyFans experience for his fans.

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 adult content.

Costa, who recently signed with Sydney FC in the Australian A-League, aims to use the platform to connect with his fans in a new and unique way. 

His account, which reportedly went live on August 8, features exclusive content such as personal photos, videos, and behind-the-scenes glimpses into his daily life and career.

"I believe in the credibility of the company and its potential for global reach," Costa was quoted to have said as per The Sydney Morning Herald.

In his first video post, Costa greeted his followers with a cheerful message in Portuguese, inviting them to follow his journey both on and off the football pitch. 

Unlike some other personalities on the platform, Costa has chosen not to share any explicit content, focusing instead on building a more personal connection with his audience.

Douglas Costa's decision to join OnlyFans reflects a growing trend among athletes to explore new revenue streams and enhance their digital presence.

Although details of his salary at Sydney FC has not been revealed, Costa is expected to earn between $2-4 million AUD per year in Australia.

The move to OnlyFans comes just days after singing for the Australian A league club and could provide additional income while allowing him to engage more directly with his supporters. 

“I hope I can play good football for them (the supporters) because then they’re going to come more often, and then I’ll be happy as well,” Costa said in a press conference after signing on a two-year deal.

“I’m really happy to be here.”

Meanwhile, Sydney FC is equally optimistic about Costa’s addition to their squad. 

Chairman Scott Barlow expressed his pride in bringing Costa to the A-League, seeing it as a major boost for the team and the league.

 For now, fans will be eager to see how Costa balances his football career with his new digital venture.
