Chelsea's Diego Costa could be set for a return to Spain with Atletico Madrid

NEWS NEWS BLOG SPORT brings you all the latest news and gossip coming out of Stamford Bridge.

 

Diego Costa looks set for a return to Spain with Atletico Madrid this summer, according to reports. 

The 27-year-old striker has scored just four goals in 17 appearances for Chelsea so far this season and has fallen out with Jose Mourinho. 

Costa and Mourinho argued at half time in the 4-0 Champions League win over Maccabi Tel Aviv, which resulted in the Brazil-born Spanish international being benched in the stalemate against Tottenham. 

And, according to Mundo Deportivo, Atletico Madrid have a clause to bring back Costa for just £28million.

 

Manchester United target Thomas Muller has become the subject of transfer interest from Chelsea, according to reports. 

The German international has been a long-term target for Louis van Gaal but Chelsea have entered the race to sign the forward as a possible replacement for the misfiring Diego Costa. 

Costa's future at Stamford Bridge is uncertain following his bust-up with Jose Mourinho. 

And, according to the Mirror, the Blues will go head-to-head with the Red Devils to sign the £72million-rated 26-year-old striker.
