​Costa will not leave Chelsea until Atletico ban ends

Chelsea forward Diego Costa is refusing to move to any club besides Atletico Madrid.

According to Starsport, the Spaniard is willing to wait until January when Atleti's transfer ban is lifted.

The 28-year old revealed publicly that Blues boss Antonio Conte had notified him that he was not in the Italian's plans next season.

And in what seems like a move to further infuriate his manager, Costa is happy to wait it out at Stamford Bridge until he gets his wish.
