Atletico Madrid's 'doors are open' for Diego Costa return - assistant coach

This is a modal window.

Atletico Madrid midfielder Koke has signed a new contract which will keep him at the club until 2024.

Chelsea striker Diego Costa would be welcomed back at Atletico Madrid with open arms, according to the Spanish side's assistant coach Juan Vizcaino.

Costa, 28, has been linked with a big-money move to Chinese Super League club Tianjin Quanjian since January following a training-ground row with Chelsea coach Antonio Conte.

However, the Spain international, who has two years left on his contract with Chelsea, said last weekend that he has no plans to leave this summer and would only depart if his destination was former club Atletico.
