Costa blames Chelsea again

Chelsea striker Diego Costa has accused the club of pricing him out of a move back to Atletico Madrid in his continuing stand-off with manager Antonio Conte.

He is determined to rejoin former side Atletico despite the La Liga club being subject to a transfer ban preventing them from registering players until January. Costa has not played for Chelsea since the FA Cup final in May, following which he claims manager Antonio Conte sent him a text telling him he was not in his plans for the new season.
