Diego Costa has had a whirlwind summer ever since Antonio Conte told him to find a new club. The Spaniard has been in exile ever since that day and even refused to come back to training in London. But that made things worse as Chelsea refused to negotiate with Atletico Madrid over a transfer for the out of favour star until he reports back to training.
But now it looks as if everything has been sorted and Chelsea returned back to training a few weeks ago. And now as per the latest report, both the clubs seem to have agreed on a fee for Diego Costa.
According to the report, Chelsea and Atleti have agreed a £54 million fee and the transfer could happen as early as today.
The transfer was already on the cards for a few days as Costa had shifted his family to Spain from London and a contingent from Simeone’s side had landed in England to close the deal.
Now it seems everything has been sorted out – but Costa will be unable to play for the Spanish outfit until January owing to a transfer ban on the club.
