It seems that the drama regarding Diego Costa's fate has come to an end. It is announced that London's Chelsea team has agreed to sell their top scorer from last season for approximately £58 million to Madrid's Atletico team. This information was also confirmed by the Chelsea team themselves.
Goal.com reports that the Spaniard is expected to be loaned to the Madrid team, and the full transfer fee should be paid in the summer.
Meanwhile, Atletico team released the following statement: "Atletico and Chelsea have reached an agreement on Diego Costa's transfer. The transfer will be completed once all formalities regarding the contract signing between the club and the Spanish forward are done. The English club has allowed D. Costa to travel to Madrid in the coming days, undergo a medical examination and agree on a contract with the club."
However, due to Atletico's ban on registering new players until January of the next year, D. Costa will only spend the first half of the season training.
