Diego Costa has stated strongly that if Chelsea don’t want him then he will choose what is best for his footballing future.
As the world is well aware by now, Costa received a text from Antonio Conte that he his no longer in the Italians plans.
This has clearly left the striker a little disgruntled and confused.
Now Costa it seems, is torn between what Chelsea want and the clubs keen on his services, Atletico are very interested but cannot take him due to the transfer ban still in effect.
Costa still hasn’t heard anything further after receiving that text and is now starting to think hard about his playing career.
The 28-year-old has already ruled out the possibility of moving to the Chinese Super League, but he confirmed that he still has a number of teams interested in his signature.
“Things don’t work like that. The fight for a place has to be fair. When there is a fair fight you stay and fight but if there isn’t then you have to go,” he told reporters.
“You need to ask Conte what has happened, he’s the coach and if he has the option of signing someone else and doesn’t want to have problems with a senior player then that’s normal.
“But there are ways of saying things, ways of doing things. Thanks to God I’m not lacking teams (to join). If Chelsea don’t want me I will choose the best option for me.”
