Chelsea to send Lukaku to Atletico Madrid in Diego Costa deal

Chelsea are ready to send Romelu Lukaku to Atletico Madrid.

The Sunday Express says manager Jose Mourinho has virtually sealed the £32million signing of Atletico's leading scorer, Diego Costa.

And it would suit him if Lukaku agreed to travel in the opposite direction for a season's loan in Spain's La Liga.

So far there have been no takers for the 21-year-old striker on a permanent basis, after Chelsea demanded £25m for the player.
