Simeone demands Atletico Madrid beat AC Milan for Diego Costa

Atletico Madrid coach Diego Simeone is demanding they splash out on Chelsea striker Diego Costa immediately.

AC Milan are also in the race of the Spanish international – but Costa has snubbed a loan move to Serie A as he wants to return to Atletico.

The Blues want £50million for Costa, 28, but the La Liga side have only offered £26m so far.

That's £6m less than what Chelsea paid to bring him to west London in 2014.

And the London Evening Standard says Rojiblanco boss Simeone wants his club to get a move on and make the deal happen as soon as possible.
