Atletico Madrid chief Gil Marin: Diego Costa must ask for transfer to make Chelsea switch

Atletico Madrid chief Miguel Angel Gil Marin insists they won't push to sell Diego Costa to Chelsea this summer. Gil Marin has told striker Diego Costa the club will only sell him if he wants to leave.

He said: "We'll try and make sure that all of the relevant players stay here. We've made a very aggressive approach for Diego to stay and we want to keep this dream going but it all depends on him.

"Our intention is not to sell anyone unless the player asks to be sold. Because of our run in the Champions League we have the money to mean we don't have to sell."
