The Colchoneros president Enrique Cerezo has stated that Atletico Madrid will not make a move for Diego Costa this summer. Cerezo said, "Diego Costa is a great player, he is magnificent. But at the moment, he is a Chelsea player and you know that we cannot sign him.

"I have not talked to him for a long time, for at least a year, since he left I've spoken to him very little."

This will come as a huge blow to Costa and Chelsea with both parties wanting to part ways with each other.
