I must return to Atletico Madrid -Diego Costa

Diego Costa has released an official statement asking Chelsea to allow him a move back to his former club, Atletico Madrid.

Costa last appeared for the Blues in a losing effort after a 2-1 defeat to Arsenal in the FA Cup final back in May, after which manager Antonio Conte informed him that he was no longer part of his plans via a controversial text message shortly after the end of last season.

The Spain international’s future has been up in the air all summer, with AC Milan also linked with him on occasion due to Atletico’s issues with a transfer ban until January.

But the 28-year-old has now issued a firm demand of his own as he expects to make the move back to Atletico.

“My future is already defined,” he said. “I must return to Atletico Madrid.

“It turns out that there is the impasse that Chelsea does not want to release me.

“But I believe that this situation will be resolved now on my return to Spain,” said the striker, who is currently in Brazil.

Costa joined Chelsea from Atletico back in 2014, and was Chelsea’s highest goal scorer last season.
