Diego Costa tells Chelsea: Sell me to Atletico Madrid NOW

Chelsea striker Diego Costa wants to move to Atletico Madrid this summer.

El Mundo Deportivo says Costa is uninterested in anyother option put forward to him.

Despite Atletico's transfer ban, Costa wants to be living in Madrid by the time the season kicks off, even if it means he will be kicking his heels for six months until he's clear to play for the club.

Chelsea had floated the idea of loaning Costa to another club after agreeing terms with Atletico to get around the FIFA ban. However, Costa only wants an immediate move.

Atletico and Chelsea now must negotiate a fee for the Spain international.
