Former Chelsea striker Diego Costa could return to the Premier League, four years after he permanently left Stamford Bridge for Atlético Madrid.
Since then, the Spaniard has had an on-and-off relationship with Atletico manager Diego Simeone. His injury record combined with multiple factors led to the Spanish giants releasing him at the end of the contract as a free agent. To which Brazilian side Atletico Mineiro responded by taking a chance on his services with the aim that he could potentially propel them to a rare Serie A title. In the 19 games he played over the 2021-22 campaign, Costa helped out in attaining a total of six goal contributions in all competitions as the former prolific Chelsea striker played his part in the short-term by shaking up the pecking order in Brazil's top league.
He left the club at the end of 2022 with a Serie A title and Brazilian cup credited to his name. Two trophies added more to the winning pedigree of the Brazil-born number 9 who won a total of three trophies during his up-and-down Blues stint. No wonder Wolverhampton Wanderers, whose new signing Sasa Kaladjzic is out injured already with a long-term injury, are considering offering the now free agent a rare contract offer as the much loved José Mourinho signing contemplates returning to England, The Athletic have reported.
