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