Chelsea striker Diego Costa: I want Atletico Madrid return, but...

Chelsea striker Diego Costa admits he wants to return to Atletico Madrid.

Costa has revealed Chelsea boss Antonio Conte has told him to find a new club - and Atletico is his priority.

"If the coach no longer counts on you, you must leave. Going back to Atlético would be nice, but you have to think about it. There is a World Cup. I need to play," said Costa, referring to Atletico's transfer ban.

"Spending four or five months without playing is complicated, but people know how much I love Atletico. I love living in Madrid."
