Outgoing – Strikers

Diego Costa – Costa has reportedly still not adjusted to life in London and would be happy to return to Atletico Madrid. The issue here being that Chelsea paid £35 million for Costa and would be expecting at least a slight profit on that number.

Atletico are never likely to spend a lot of money on anyone due to the club’s incredible debt, especially a player who is two years older than when he left originally. The other options are apparently again in the Far East where Costa is being offered incredible sums of money to play his psychopathic brand of striker in the Chinese league.

I think ultimately Costa will stay. The one thing he has in spades, passion, is the defining nature of Conte sides and the Spanish international could grow into a Chelsea legend over time.
