Diego Costa: There is only one team to go to if I have to leave Chelsea

It has been a mixed season for Diego Costa with the summer transfer window linking him with a move away from Chelsea only for the Spaniard to shine as the Blues raced to the Premier League title, however he has once again suggested he would only leave the London club for one team.

Diego Simeone staying in the Spanish capital could prove to be a huge boost to Atletico Madrid's summer transfer hopes with Antoine Griezmann likely to leave the club as Manchester United prepare to exercise his buy-out clause.

Costa enjoyed a fine relationship with the Argentine coach and huge success with Los Colchoneros with the club very close to his heart and he has made it clear he would only leave Chelsea for a return to Los Rojiblancos.

"There is only one team to go to if I have to leave Chelsea, there is only one," he explained after the FA Cup final.

The 28-year-old has seen his future become a topic of conjecture since the January transfer window when it appeared as though a lucrative move to China had turned his head, much to the chagrin of Antonio Conte.

With that said the former Atletico forward reaffirmed his commitment to the Premier League champions following their defeat to Arsenal on Saturday.

"I'm fine here, I have two more years left on my contract and I do not intend to leave, people talk too much and I will stay if the club want me to stay," he noted.

Of course with the transfer window about to open it is unlikely we have heard the last of this story as it is a well known fact that Simeone courted the forward last summer.

It may well be the same again this year especially with Chelsea believed to be looking to tempt Romelu Lukaku back to the club, something that isn't lost on Costa.

"If the club intend to sell me in order to bring in another striker then obviously I will leave but as I said there is only one club I'd leave for, everyone knows the team I like; Atletico? Yes, everybody knows this," he concluded.
