Simeone desperate for Atletico Madrid to resist Chelsea Diego Costa bid

Atletico Madrid are pleading with Diego Costa to put his Chelsea move on hold. The Mirror says Atletico are to ask Diego Costa to delay his big-money move to Chelsea until summer 2015.

Chelsea are confident of tying up a £50million deal with a stunning £185,000-a-week contract for the striker.

But Atletico coach Diego Simeone has met with the directors to plead with them not to cash in on their star forward this summer, so he can carry on building a team to dominate Europe.

However, Chelsea remain confident they will get the deal done this close-season and believe Costa will be their player.
