With a comfortable victory over Leicester City, the Champions of England, Antonio Conte’s Chelsea managed to open up a 7 points gap at the top of the Premier League table with Liverpool and Tottenham tied in the second place, 21 games into the season.

The manager will be pleased with his team’s comeback after the loss at the White Hart Lane earlier this month but he will be distraught over the feud that kept star striker Diego Costa away from the game at the King Power.

According to reports, Costa and Conte had a huge fight that ended in the manager asking his player to leave Chelsea for China.

But Costa is adamant and wants to stay at the club until the end of the season to try and help them to another title. There is little chance of Costa extending his contract that runs out in 2 years at the Bridge and he will be a wanted man in Europe at the end of the season.

With 14 goals already, Costa, is currently the top goal scorer in the Premier League alongside Zlatan Ibrahimovic and Alexis Sanchez, all of who are in sublime form.

But with Costa not happy at Chelsea, a number of clubs will be ready to move for him this summer.

A couple of clubs in China have already registered their interests but reports from the Independent claim that Spanish giants Atletico Madrid and Barcelona are also interested in his signature.

Costa was offered a £30m-a-season offer from China earlier this month but the Spaniard decided to stay at the club until the end of the season.

But his unrest at the club has not gone unnoticed and Luis Enrique’s Barcelona are expected to make a move for him at the end of the season.

It is understood that Barcelona eye Diego Costa as a replacement for Luis Suarez who turns 30 soon and have already made contact with the player over a move in the summer transfer window.

With just over a year left on his contract he is not expected to cost insane amounts and his former side Atletico Madrid are also plotting a move for him.

The Spanish outfit are in danger of losing star striker Antoine Griezmann in the summer but are expected to receive a huge pay for his sale at the end of the season.

And Atleti are plotting to get Costa, in his form, back to the Vicente Calderon using the money from the sale of Griezmann.

At the moment, Costa is expected to help Chelsea this season but Barcelona and Atletico Madrid will be circling right from the business end of the season.

Do you think Costa should head back to Spain?
