Chelsea fans might have to get used to the picture above as seeing the back of Diego Costa is becoming increasingly likely, according to The Metro.
The report says Ladbrokes have slashed odds on Diego Costa leaving Stamford Bridge. You can now get Diego Costa to re-join Atletico Madrid at 4/6. Valencia are the second favourites to sign the striker at 6/1.
The striker’s poor form over the last ten months, which has seen a return of only seven goals can’t go unnoticed, with Jose Mourinho expressing his discontent with the forwards movement against Maccabi Tel-Aviv. The pair are said to have made up since, though.
The public dispute between the player and the manager is extremely concerning, however, a blessing in disguise some may say. If Chelsea can remove Diego Costa from their squad, the club can start to try and regain some respect from the footballing world.
Chelsea are reportedly looking for possible replacements with Harry Kane one of the key players identified, although, prizing him away from rivals Tottenham may prove tricky.
A return to Atletico Madrid is the most likely if Costa decides to leave Chelsea. Blues fans will be hoping that Antoine Griezmann could be included in the deal.
