Atletico Madrid goal machine Diego Costa was heavily linked with interest from Chelsea throughout the January transfer window and though Vicente Calderon boss Diego Simeone manfully held onto the in-form Brazilian forward last month he may struggle to do so in the summer.
Costa’s goals have been a pivotal part of the club’s genuine push for a La Liga title and have also helped the Spanish capital side to a spot in the last 16 of the Champions League but one gets the impression that Atletico Madrid may once again cash-in on one of their star-turns as they have done many times in the recent past.
The likes of Sergio Aguero, Fernando Torres and David de Gea have all left Atletico for a move to the Premier League and you wouldn’t bet against Costa following suit.
