Everton reportedly attempted a £66 million move to sign Diego Costa this past summer but were turned down by the former Chelsea frontman. Meanwhile, Inter Milan have indicated they could rival the London club for Genoa starlet Pietro Pellegri.
Madrid-based newspaper Marca reported Everton offered €75 million (£66 million) to take Costa from Stamford Bridge to Goodison Park, but he "only wanted to play at Atletico Madrid."
According to the report, Costa "refused to listen to any offer that was not from Atleti" as he attempted to escape Antonio Conte's Chelsea squad, meaning Everton manager Ronald Koeman fell short in his audacious bid.
