Former Atletico Madrid striker Diego Costa is wanted back in Spain ahead of the January transfer window.

The Spain international helped Atletico Mineiro win the Brasileiro championship this year, having left Atletico in January after being released from his contract by mutual consent.

However, the veteran is being offered a chance to return to Spain next month.

Elche and Cadiz are both keen on bringing Costa back to Europe in January, though he has a deal with Atletico Mineiro to December 2022.

Both clubs will push Costa to negotiate a release from his contract so to avoid paying a transfer fee for the 33 year-old.
