Friends try to persuade stubborn D. Costa

The ongoing drama between striker Diego Costa and the Chelsea club may come to an end in a few months.

"Express" reports that the 28-year-old athlete, who is currently on vacation in Brazil, initially had no intention of returning to the "Blues" team, which included him in the squad for the upcoming Premier League championship.

However, the stubborn player may be persuaded to return to the right path by his close friends, who reportedly actively persuade him to reconcile with coach Antonio Conte and return to England.

D. Costa is also tempted by the talks of his friends to once again put on the Spanish national team jersey and participate in the upcoming World Cup in Russia.

Lawyers may also have the final say - if the player does not join Chelsea's training sessions in the near future, he will face financial penalties.

The footballer, who earns a staggering £185,000 per week, could suffer significant losses.

Diego Costa's current contract with Chelsea is valid for another two years.
