Chelsea Transfer News: Diego Costa Switch Imminent in Latest Rumours

Chelsea striker Diego Costa will reportedly finalise his move to Atletico Madrid in the coming days.

According to Marca (h/t Football Espana), the deal will go through "this week," ending speculation about the forward's future.

In the same report it's suggested Atletico will pay around £54 million to bring Costa back to the capital for a second spell, although it's not yet certain how the deal will be constructed in terms of upfront payments and add-ons.

As noted by Annie Eaves of Sport Witness, Marca reported the forward has been worried about returning to Chelsea training after a summer absence, and there is now a determination on the part of both clubs to get this situation sorted.
