Atletico Madrid president gives update on Costa move as Chelsea seal deal for Morata

Atletico Madrid president, Enrique Cerezo, has said a move for Diego Costa is not close to completion.
The Chelsea striker wants to return to his former club, after manager Antonio Conte told him he has no future at Stamford Bridge.

Alvaro Morata’s impending arrival (http://dailypost.ng/2017/07/19/details-moratas-transfer-chelsea-revealed/) will pave the way for Costa’s exit, after he was left out of the club’s pre-season tour of the Far East.

“Diego Costa is a great player, he is magnificent.
“But at the moment, he is a Chelsea player and you know that we cannot sign him.

“I have not talked to him for a long time, for at least a year, since he left I’ve spoken to him very little.
“He was in Spain for many years before, he’s had a spell in England, learning English and I imagine he will return to Spain someday on vacation, why wouldn’t he return on vacation?,” Cerezo said.
