Thursday’s edition of Spanish newspaper AS has a feature on Atletico Madrid’s interest in signing Diego Costa from Chelsea. That’s nothing new, because AS seem to have a feature every day on Atletico’s interest in Costa, and have done for many months.
The latest hope of progress, and Chelsea softening their stance, is claims the London club have interest in Everton’s Romelu Lukaku.
The idea is that if Lukaku went to Chelsea for a huge fee then that would surely mean the exit of Costa, especially given that Chelsea have already signed Michy Batshuayi from Marseille, Lukaku’s international teammate.
It’s a long shot, but AS are clinging to it.
