Diego Costa is leaving Chelsea to join Atletico Madrid

The club revealed this afternoon that a deal had been done that will see Costa rejoin Atletico.

A club statement read: “Chelsea Football Club has today agreed terms with Atletico Madrid for the transfer of Diego Costa.

Costa has refused to train with Chelsea and travelled back to Brazil this summer after being axed by Antonio Conte via text.

He bagged 64 goals in 135 games for the Blues but supporters have been left fuming at his attitude which saw him effectively go on strike. One tweeted Costa on Twitter: “Lost respect for the c***. But yeah, he was a great servant for the Blues when called upon to perform! Won't miss him though. Cheers DC.”

Another fumed: “Good f****** riddance!”

A fellow Blues fan tagged Costa in his tweet and wrote: “Farewell @diegocosta you t**t.”

While another added: “Thanks for the memories Am not going to miss you though.”

Costa left the club to join Chelsea in 2014 and he will complete his move to Atletico in January. 
Chelsea play at Atletico next Wednesday in the Champions League.

Another fan wrote: “Thank you @diegocosta now @Atleti take back your problem.”

While a fellow supporter said: “Finally, morata much better anyway.”

Another follower tagged Atletico and wrote: “Thanks for taking him.”
