Chelsea players reportedly think Costa is reconsidering stance

Chelsea’s players reportedly believe that Diego Costa is seriously considering a change in stance on his future at the club.

The Spanish international is determined to secure a switch back to Atletico Madrid following his exile from the club, but according to the Telegraph, there is belief among the Chelsea squad that Costa could have a temporary change of heart.

The Blues have requested that Costa attends training on several occasions, but the player himself has been striking for some time now. He has been spending the large majority of the last few months in his homeland of Brazil, ignoring Chelsea’s requests.

An agreement between the Blues and Atletico Madrid is still yet to be reached, and this has prompted suggestions that Costa will return now and swallow his pride.

However, it remains highly unlikely that he will force his way back into Antonio Conte’s plans, as he looks to wait for a move to Atletico in January.
