From France: Chelsea striker set to stay despite Ligue 1 interest

 

After a failed attempt from Atlético Madrid to try and bring Diego Costa back, Diego Costa looks set to stay at Chelsea for the coming season.

The reason behind this is mostly because Antonio Conte clearly likes the player in spite of his slight temperament issues and theatrics on the pitch.

This is why we were a bit confused when Le10 Sport reported a big exclusive on Friday that there was little chance Paris Saint-Germain would be getting Diego Costa this summer.

The reasoning behind this is that Chelsea haven’t bought another striker, something they were reportedly looking to do, and therefore letting the Spaniard go isn’t something they’re considering right now.

Add on top of this the fact Nasser Al-Khelaifi has said there would be no more incomings at Paris Saint-Germain, only exits, and this is all seems a bit redundant.

Le10 Sport say barring a big turn of events, PSG don’t have a way in for Costa.

It’d have to be an incredible turn of events, if you ask us.
