Former Brazilian Footballer, Former Teammate of Cristiano Ronaldo, Launches OnlyFans Account

Prominent footballer Douglas Costa, the former Brazil international winger, has made his first foray into a new industry by creating an account on the website 'OnlyFans'. The 33-year-old Costa made the surprising announcement shortly after signing with Australian A-League club Sydney FC. Despite the website's reputation as a platform primarily used by adult content creators, Costa sees its potential for reaching a global audience as a major draw. Known for his success with top European clubs like Bayern Munich and Juventus, Costa also had the opportunity to play alongside superstar Cristiano Ronaldo during their time together at Juventus.

"As an OnlyFans creator, I will create exclusive content for my fans that they won't be able to see on any other social media, and it will make a great difference," said Costa through a press release sent to Australian news organisation The Sydney Morning Herald.

"I decided to join OnlyFans because I believe in the company's credibility and potential for global reach," he added.

Days after his former teammate Ronaldo shattered records on YouTube, gaining over 50 million subscribers in three days, Costa is trying his luck in another social media arena.

In fact, Ronaldo has been followed to YouTube by modern football stars like Jude Bellingham as well.

"The segment in which OnlyFans seeks to have athletes as brand ambassadors greatly impacts the market, and I am more than happy to be part of it, especially as one of the pioneers in the soccer segment," he said.

"I hope this partnership will be lasting and I can make my fans happy with my content," he stated.
