Costa has said he would like to return to his former club Atletico Madrid but the Spanish outfit has been banned from signing players until January due to transfer rule breaches.
Diego Costa insists he will look for an exit route out of Chelsea after being told by manager Antonio Conte he is not in the Italian's plans for next season.
He spent four seasons at Atleti and suggested he might be open to a return, despite the La Liga club being banned from signing players until the January transfer window. "If I sign for Atlético it doesn't mean that I won't be able to play, I can still be loaned to another team weather it is Spain, Italy, Brazil or wherever it may be", he told Onda Cero.
We have seen the last of Costa in a Chelsea shirt, but where will he be next season?
"I cannot say how many they are, but they exist. Atletico is a club that I have a lot of affection for, independently of whether I go there or not, I will continue to love them".
Antonio Conte sent a text to his players wishing them a good holiday and telling them to stay fit.

AC Milan have also been linked with a move for Costa, while the Brazilian-born Spain global has rejected the idea of a move to China, as it would jeopardise his hopes of playing in the World Cup.
"Many friends called me in the last hours to ask about it, but Diego did not commented on that".
"I hope this situation can resolve itself and they can have a good relationship going forward". It's a World Cup year and there's a lot to think about. "But there are things and ways of doing things and saying them", Costa said. "That's it. He informed me that he won't be needed me in the team next season". "It's a shame. but it is obvious that I'm not in the manager's plans and he doesn't want me there".
