Costa was not in a brilliant situation at the start of the season, despite that, he fired Chelsea to the title by scoring twenty goals in thirty-five games and always being a threat upfront.
However, Conte wants to sell him.
Here is Costa after Spain’s draw with Colombia on Wednesday.
“I’ll be sincere. The other day I got a text message from coach Conte saying I’m not in his plans anymore.”
“Right now I’m a Chelsea player. But the coach doesn’t want me there. So I’ll have to leave no matter what.”
“I don’t know where I’ll go, I’ll see. But people know I cherish Atletico Madrid a lot and I also love to live in Madrid.”
Costa was linked with a move to China in January, but Chelsea said they had no intention of selling him.
Costa moved to Chelsea in 2014 from Atletico Madrid, a club he has hinted of his desire to return to.
The things that will happen next in this drama will be very interesting for football fans like me.
