FSV Mainz 05 signs Danny da Costa from Eintracht Frankfurt

Danny da Costa is moving from Eintracht Frankfurt to league rivals FSV Mainz 05 for the coming season. His new club announced this on Friday. The defender joins Mainz on a free transfer and has a contract until 2025.

“I’m very happy that Danny has accepted us,” said coach Bo Svensson: “He has immense sporting quality and is an outstanding guy who also has a lot of experience at national and international level.”

Da Costa had already played for Mainz on loan in the second half of last season and was convincing: “It’s no secret that he played a very important role in staying up last year,” said Svensson.

The 28-year-old also wants to build on the successful period of his loan and is looking forward to his return: “Mainz 05 has a special DNA, sporty and above all in cooperation,” said da Costa.
