Chelsea close to signing €94m striker, Spain international could set for transfer move

La Liga giants Atletico Madrid have not given up on their hopes of signing Diego Costa from Chelsea this summer. While the likes of Aubameyang, Lacazette and Gameiro also interest Diego Simeone, but the Atletico boss is desperate to be reunited with the Spain international.

Chelsea have refused to negotiate a deal for Costa, so far, but the scenario could change if the player forces a move or the new manager Antonio Conte sign at least two strikers.

One of them is already sorted, with the Blues having already sealed a deal for Belgium striker Michy Batshuayi who confirmed his €40m move from Olympic Marseille on Sunday.
