Atletico offered Chelsea 44 million euros for the striker of Spain Diego Costa.

The case of the potential transfer of Diego Costa from Chelsea to Atletico has moved from a dead center: after the first proposal of 28 million euros, rejected by "retirees", "mattress" increased the amount to 44 million.

Refusing to return to London, despite the threat of a solid fine, Diego Costa is not satisfied with the option that he will remain in Chelsea until the new year, because Atletico has no right to register new players until 2018.

Coach Chelsea Antonio Conte early in the summer said that Diego Costa can look for a new team, but at the same time, "retirees" are not averse to earning a sale of the obstinate soccer player.
