Diego Costa arrived in Spain for a medical examination after Chelsea and Atletico agreed on the transfer conditions of the 28-year-old striker.

Costa joined Chelsea from Atletico in 2014 and won two league titles in three seasons, scoring 59 goals in 120 games.

Nevertheless, the relationship between Kostya and the manager of the "blue" Antonio Conte was spoiled, and last summer the Spaniard never returned from his vacation to the training base of the London club.

"It's not like I represented my departure from Chelsea.

I have a special connection with people in Chelsea and I'm not going to defame the name of the club. I'm not from such people, "- said Costa.

"I will not behave disrespectfully towards Chelsea, where I was very happy and played in a wonderful team".

"Atletico is my home and I'm here again. I look forward to meeting with my teammates and starting training. I'm not in such a bad shape as some people suggest ".

Also Costa noted that he no longer keeps evil on Antonio Conte, and the head coach Chelsea wished the striker all the best.
