Chelsea forward Diego Costa has reportedly told club chiefs that he wants to move back to Atletico Madrid.
The Spain international endured a difficult season with the Blues last year as the former Premier League champions slumped from first to tenth.
Costa joined Chelsea back in 2014 in a deal reported to be worth £32m and had an immediate impact, scoring 21 goals from 39 appearances. The Spaniard struggled with his consistency in the following season but still found the back of the net 16 times.
Costa's experience up top would also prove invaluable as the club looks to nurture the youthful Michy Batshuayi – Chelsea’s first signing of the summer.
Given their shortage of strikers, to lose Costa at this stage of the summer would be a major blow to Conte.
