Atletico Madrid Want Diego Costa In January But Convincing Him To Join AC Milan On Loan This Summer

Diego Costa is set to be a wanted man this summer as Antonio Conte is ready to let him leave Chelsea.

The Spanish striker has been in excellent form in England, since his move to London three years ago.

He has helped Chelsea to two league titles in his three years at the cub, one under Jose Mourinho and one under Antonio Conte.

The latest victory saw him score 20 league goals, to stand as the top goal scorer for the club in the domestic league.

He was an integral part of the squad last season but it was revealed that Conte has asked him to quit Chelsea this summer.

Costa was reportedly sent a text message telling that he is not in the plans of the manager next season and that he is not wanted by Chelsea anymore.

This has effectively ended his stay at the Stamford Bridge but there will be no shortage of suitors for him this summer.

A couple of Chinese clubs will swoop in with their offer but at the moment Arsenal and Manchester United are interested in his signature alongside the cash-rich AC Milan this summer.

The Italian giants have overseen a Chinese takeover recently and are set to spend big this summer.

They want some of the best players in Europe in their squad next season and have constantly been linked with a move for Diego Costa.

But the player has time and again revealed that he would love to return to his former club Atletico Madrid, who are also desperate for his signature.

The Spanish giants will not be able to keep Antoine Griezmann at the club for too long and are looking for replacements next season.

They were linked with a move for Alexandre Lacazette recently but the FFP transfer ban that they are now under, will not allow them to sign any player, at least till the January transfer window.

Spanish outlet Don Balon now claim that Diego Simeone’s side want Costa to join AC Milan on a loan deal so that they can sign him up in January.

t is said the striker’s agent, Jorge Mendes, is already in talks with the Italian side over a loan move away from the capital this summer.

The Spanish giants are reportedly ready to pay £43m for his services and it will be interesting to see if they are able to sign him up in the next couple of transfer windows.
