Arsenal, of course, is the only team interested in Costa with Real Madrid, Seville and Barcelona that would be interested in its services.

Since the Gunners have scored 15 goals in 15 games this season, Costa would have a transparent purpose and role under Mikel Arteta, which would be appealing.

Injuries and limited opportunities to impress new signing Luis Suarez led Costa to move.

Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang has just signed a new big contract, so it is most likely Alexandre Lacazette who is affected by a Costa raid.

But it can be expensive: to lose any hope of recruiting the young pistol Folarin Balogun, who connected with an Emirates movement.

Instead of signing Costa, 32, some at Arsenal to nod to the youth.

Surely Arsenal deserve to review to point balogun out with a long-term agreement with the meath budget at its disposal instead of spending cash on former Chelsea player 32-year-old Costa?No wonder Balogun and his advisers are tired of being told that. the budget for a big new business.

Atletico Madrid first proved that they had released former Chelsea star early.

“Atletico Madrid and Diego Costa have reached an agreement for the termination of the striker’s contract, which expires on June 30, 2021,” the club said in a statement.

The 32-year-old Brazilian striker, who has opted 24 times for Spain after betting twice on friendlys for his native country, had asked to leave the club for “personal reasons”.

Costa arrived at Atletico in 2006 at the age of 17, then played 215 games in two terms (2010-14 and 2018-20) in a three-season appearance at Chelsea, scoring 83 goals and offering 36 assists.

During his time at Atletico, Costa was part of a team that won a La Liga name in the 2013–14 season, a Copa del Rey (2013), a Europa League (2018) and two UEFA Super Cups (2010 and 2018).

“The club thanks Diego Costa for his determination during those years and wishes him the best for the next level of his professional career,” the club said.
