Chelsea are here scrambling for a new striker while Diego Costa is partying in an Atletico Madrid shirt. He just doesn’t give a damn.
Diego Costa is a man who has divided opinion throughout his time in West London. Now he has managed to push both sides to the extremes of the spectrum with his latest antics.
Having told him that he is not needed, Chelsea are scrambling for a replacement. And they are failing badly. Costa, meanwhile, is partying in Brazil in an Atletico Madrid shirt.
What a man.
Here he is, seemingly having the time of his life with a live band.
Moreover, reports claim that he fired shots at Antonio Conte during the live stream. Cesc Fabregas responded with a laughing emoji to which Costa said ‘give Conte a hug’ (Daily Mail).
This will go one of two ways. Those who are a fan of the striker and were annoyed by Conte’s text will laugh at this. Those who were frustrated with his attitude will only grow more red in the face. They may even erupt.

But Costa doesn’t give two f**ks.
The Spanish international is due to reunite with Diego Simeone and Atletico Madrid. This latest video only shows how much he wants to return to the Spanish capital.
However, with Atletico under a transfer ban until January 2018, Costa will have to sit around for the next six months. That hasn’t stopped the club from agreeing deals, though, as Vitolo will finalise his Atletico switch in January.
While the Blues’ current situation has led some to believe that Costa will play in blue until his probable departure in January, well that clearly isn’t happening. The striker seems perfectly happy to do a deal this summer, then go and train under Simeone until the move can be officially closed.
