The Spanish goal-scoring machine Diego Costa is not in Antonio Conte’s plans for the next season. The forward has two more years of his contract with Chelsea, but he may leave this summer. Even though Costa was one of the main reasons for Chelsea’s title last season he will look for a new club. However, with his 22 goals of the season (20 in the Premier League) it won’t be a difficult task for him to find a new team.
To continue with, Diego Costa has said that he would like to return to Atletico Madrid. That will be possible from 1st January 2018, because of the sanctions against the team. So, if Costa decides a move to his former team, he must move on loan in another team, in order to take part in competitive matches. For sure, he will do it, because the forward dreams of taking part in another World Cup. He has also said that he doesn’t care where he would be sent on loan, except for China.
The 28-year-old striker spent 4 years at Atletico Madrid (2010 – 2014). He has played 135 games for Los Rojiblancos and has scored 64 goals in all competitions. He was a part of the team, which won La Liga in 2014. Costa also played in the Champions League final in the same campaign, which was lost to Real Madrid. So, it will be a very logical thing if he moves back to his former team.
Diego Costa recently scored his 6th goal for the Spanish national team, which was his 6th in 16 appearances. He played in 2 games of the World Cup in 2014. However, his main priority now is a participation in the upcoming World Cup 2018 in Russia.
