Atletico Madrid head coach Diego Simeone was cautious but welcoming ahead of the proposed return of striker Diego Costa.
Costa’s messy split from Chelsea appeared to reach its conclusion on Thursday (September 21) with the Premier League club saying they had agreed to sell the Spain striker back to Atletico.
Costa, a key figure in Chelsea’s two titles in the last three seasons, has not featured for the club since the FA Cup final defeat against Arsenal in May.
Simeone wouldn’t go into details on Friday (September 22), instead focussing on the upcoming La Liga game versus Sevilla.
The Argentine coach also sent his best wishes to Mexico, after the country’s devastating earthquake earlier this week.
At least 282 people have died in the deadliest quake to hit the country in decades.
