Chelsea Football Club has today agreed terms with Atletico Madrid for
the transfer of Diego Costa...
02:42 PM - 21 Sep 2017
The 28 year old rejoins the Spanish side after three years in England
with 64 goals in 135 games for a fee reported to be close to £50m
His departure brings to an end a protracted saga between player and
club that started in January.
In June, he was told by manager Antonio Conte via a text message
that he wasn't in his plans.
He subsequently refused to return to training in London despite being
mandated by the club to do so. But instead stayed over in Brazil where
he used several press releases and interviews to indicate that he
would only accept a transfer back to La Liga side Atletico Madrid, and
he has gotten his wish.
He leaves Chelsea after winning two Premier League titles, and a League Cup.
