Costa: I am not in Conte鈥檚 plans
Print Edition
CHELSEA striker Diego Costa is looking for a move away from Stamford Bridge after being told by manager Antonio Conte that the 28-year-old is not part of his plans at the Premier League club, the Spain international has said.
Costa scored 20 goals in 35 league appearances in Chelsea’s title-winning campaign last season amid local media speculation that he has an unfavorable relationship with the Italian manager.
“Conte has sent me a message to tell me I am not in his plans for Chelsea,” Costa said after Spain’s 2-2 draw against Colombia on Wednesday. “My relationship with the coach has been bad this season. It’s a shame, but it’s clear that the coach does not count on me.”
Costa, who was at Atletico Madrid from 2010-14, wants a move back to the La Liga club but would have to wait for its transfer ban to end next January. His hopes of playing for Spain in next year’s World Cup in Russia would also depend on getting regular playing time. “Being five months without playing? I do not know, it’s complicated, but people know that I love Atletico a lot and that I love to live in Madrid.”
Everton striker Romelu Lukaku has been linked with his ex-club Chelsea.
