Costa mocks Conte in video, wears Atletico shirt
The Spanish international wants to leave the Blues and return to former club Atletico, with whom he reached the 2014 Champions League final.
Footage of the 28-year-dancing in an Atletico Madrid shirt has appeared on social media.
He then appeared to answer team-mate Cesc Fabregas, telling him to “Give a hug to Conte.”
Diego Costa is supposed to report at training this week, but was dumped after Chelsea won the 2016-2017 Premier League title by Conte, who told him the news on Whatsapp.
The Spanish international scored 22 goals in all competitions for Chelsea this season, but got into a row over Winter with Conte, and looked set to leave in winter for China.
Yet, despite Tianjin Quanjian offering €86 million for him, the 28-year-old wants to play for Spain in next year’s World Cup.
