Diego Costa will sign for Chelsea in a £32 million deal this summer, claims The Sun with some conviction. The paper reports that a deal for the Atletico Madrid hitman, who scored against the Blues at Stamford Bridge on Wednesday, has already been done. A top Stamford Bridge source confirmed: “Diego Costa will be a Chelsea player next season. It’s a done deal.” The Brazil-born striker only signed a new deal with the Champions League finalists last year but the figure Chelsea have offered will trigger a release clause in his contract.
Chelsea have been linked with Costa for some time but this report is the furthest the story has gone so far. It seems like a deal will happen, but why would Costa want to leave a club that could yet be European champions at the end of the season, in a country to which he has just pledged his international allegiances? If money were not a big part of it, his motives would be difficult to understand. But money is clearly a big part of it, and at Chelsea, there's plenty of it.
