Departing Chelsea striker Diego Costa has flown out from Brazil to complete his move to Atletico Madrid.

On Thursday morning, Costa shared his final moments in his native Brazil with his friends before bidding his farewells and setting off for the Spanish capital.

The striker is now on his way to Madrid, where he is set to undergo a medical before completing a move back to Atlético and getting himself ready to return to action in January.

He has left his home in Lagarto and those who have surrounded him for the past 100 days, departing with thanks for them and receiving good-luck messages in return, with friend Alex Carvalho writing: "Bon voyage! On your way back to your home, Atlético Madrid. God bless you, Diego!"
