On Friday, when asked if Costa will return, Chelsea boss Conte admitted: ‘I don’t know. There is no news.’

A Chelsea spokesman added: ‘Nothing to report on that.’

Costa’s former club Atletico Madrid is still the most likely destination but they have not been able to agree a fee. Atletico are also under a transfer embargo until January and do not want to have to pay him if they cannot play him.
