‘One or two week’ wait on huge Chelsea transfer, as club remain determined

 

Atletico Madrid’s wish to re-sign Diego Costa from Chelsea may turn slightly tragic if the Spanish club don’t get their way.

Atletico simply won’t give up the idea, and each time the Spanish press throw the towel in on Atletico’s behalf, it’s only a matter of time before the possibility is considered once again.

Up until now Chelsea have remained determined in their outlook to not sell Costa, regardless of the situation, his wishes, and any offer made by Atletico. It’s either a very tough bargaining stance, or Costa really isn’t going anywhere this summer.

Spanish newspaper Marca say in their Tuesday edition that Atletico are prepared to wait one or weeks for any final Costa chance, but it sometimes feels like the club would wait until the end of time.

Sevilla’s Kevin Gameiro is the current alternative, and there have been many before him, but Atletico are still holing out for their hero. The club are showing determination personified by their manager Diego Simeone, but if Chelsea say no then that’s that.
