| Diego Costa joined Chelsea from Atletico in 2014 |
DIEGO COSTA has met with Atletico Madrid president Miguel Angel Gil about potentially leaving Chelsea.
Costa joined the Blues in 2014 from Atletico for £32m and had a successful debut season scoring 20 league goals as they won the title and the League Cup.
But despite his popularity at Stamford Bridge with fans, the 26-year-old is seemingly hopeful of returning to Spain with Atletico.
Spanish newspaper Marca say Costa and Angel Gil met during the summer whilst in Ibiza.
The report claims Costa told his former Atletico team-mates he'd like to return to the Vicente Caleron and Angel Gil spoke to super agent Jorge Mendes about the possibility of a deal.
However Mendes played down the chances of Costa leaving Chelsea and the Spaniard's wages are thought to be a major stumbling block in the deal.
Chelsea have been linked with Antoine Griezmann this summer while Atletico have strengthen their attack with Jackson Martínez and Luciano Vietto.
