Diego Costa’s agent stated that his client wants to move back over to Atletico Madrid.
Since then, rumours have hit claiming Costa may start some legal proceedings to speed up his exit out of Stamford Bridge.
Former Liverpool star Souness believes finding a solution to the Costa problem is vital for the champions, as the alternative is the Spanish international striker could well end up disrupting Chelsea’s season.
“The biggest question mark hangs over Diego Costa… The uncertainty is about how long he hangs around, since Atletico are banned from signing new players until the next transfer window in January.”
“Managing a squad of 25 at the top end of the Premier League is difficult enough. You’ve got talented players, often with big egos, who expect to be picked every weekend and the numbers just don’t allow for that.”
“If you’re winning you can get away with it. It’s when you lose a game or two on the bounce — as all the best teams do at some point — that the rotten apples can pollute the rest of the barrel.”
“If Chelsea can’t move Costa on in the next few months it will require the senior players to bring him into line before it gets ugly.”
