FANS wonder if Douglas Costa will show what’s he’s got Down Under – after the star joined Sydney FC AND OnlyFans in a shock double move.
But the former Juventus and Bayern Munich winger explained he’s not linking up with the adult site for the usual explicit reasons.
A-Leaguers Sydney have unveiled the former Brazil star, 33, as a marquee signing.
But it’s unlikely he’ll be doing any unveiling on OnlyFans.
Instead the ex-LA Galaxy man will use the subscription site to promote his status as a “brand ambassador” for elite athletes.
A string of other sporting celebrities have opened OnlyFans accounts – for varying reasons.

FOOTBALL FREE BETS AND SIGN UP DEALS
Costa launched his account on August 8 – and so far it’s FREE.
At the moment it contains just a handful of photos from his footballing career and a video of him boxing.
But he promised to “create exclusive content for my fans they will not be able to see on any other social network” – to make a “big difference”.
In a statement to The Sydney Morning Herald, he added: “I decided to join OnlyFans because I believe in the credibility of the company and its potential for global reach.
“Overall, this alliance has everything to be very interesting and successful.
“The segment in which OnlyFans seeks to have athletes as brand ambassadors has a great impact on the market.
“I am more than happy to be part of it, especially as one of the pioneers in the football segment.”
Meanwhile, Sydney are cock-a-hoop to recruit such a famous name, someone who has won the Bundesliga and Serie A three times apiece.
Club coach Ufuk Talay claimed it was “exciting to be able to attract” a player of his “calibre”.
Talay said. “He is a world-class talent with 24 career trophies.
“His experience and knowledge will be a positive influence on the playing group.”
Sydney chairman Scott Barlow went even further in his Costa assessment.

The club’s two other international signings are both midfielders – uncapped Brazilian Leo Sena, 28, and 26-year-old Anas Ouahim, who played for Morocco Under-23s.
