Chelsea star will only cost Atletico Madrid €30m
AS confirm that the Chelsea striker, who was recently dumped by Coach Antonio Conte via whatsapp, will fetch only €30 million.
The Spanish international was the subject of a €60m offer from the Colchoneros, his former club, last winter.
The striker has argued with his club on a number of occasions, tiffing with the Blues over the winter as he demanded for a move to China, with Tianjin Quanjian known to be particularly interested.
The 28-year-old has scored 52 Premier League goals in three seasons for the Pensioners, but his difficult character hasn’t endeared him to the club.
Atletico Madrid Coach Diego Simeone has repeatedly made it clear that he’d like to work with Costa, who had a stellar season in 2013/2014, leading Atletico to the Champions League final and a Liga title by scoring 35 goals.
