Sky sources indicate Atletico will pay more than £50m for the Spain
international, who will now have a medical in Madrid and discuss
personal terms.The transfer will be subject to the agreement of personal terms and a medical.”
Costa refused to return to Chelsea’s Cobham training base this summer, instead remaining in Brazil in hope that Atletico could strike a deal to bring him back to Madrid.
Atletico failed to push through the move before the transfer deadline, safe in the knowledge that Costa would not be able to play for them until January due to the club’s transfer ban.
Costa has not played for 98 days since he appeared for Spain in a World Cup Qualifier against Macedonia in June.
The 28-year-old scored 20 goals in 35 Premier League appearances last season as Chelsea cruised to the Premier League title, but was deemed surplus to requirements by head coach Antonio Conte in the summer.
Costa spent four years at Atletico before joining Chelsea in July 2014 after they met his £32m buy-out clause
