Page 10 of Thursday’s edition of AS has a big quote as the headline: “Diego Costa? In football anything is possible.”
Costa has been repeatedly linked with a return to Atletico almost since he arrived in London, and it doesn’t seem like the Spanish club want to keep their interest a secret.
There’s obviously a strong bond between club and player, Atletico and Diego Simeone have a way of getting under the skin of footballers, and it’s clearly a great club to play for in this era.
However, Chelsea aren’t so bad either, and living in London when you’re a multi-millionaire isn’t such a hardship, although it’s a different culture to Madrid.
AS further questioned Cerezo on Costa, asking if a return was closer: “The truth is, I have no idea.”
On whether Costa could be an option for number 9, Cerezo said: “I do not know, you would have to ask him. We and our coaches are working on getting a good player to cover the position we need.”
If Costa was to return to Atletico, they’d have to put up a relatively huge fee, and Chelsea would surely have to be able to get a replacement.
