Atletico Madrid club president Enrique Cerezo has suggested that the Rojiblancos are interested in bring Chelsea's Diego Costa back to the Vicente Calderon.

Diego Costa joined Chelsea from Atletico Madrid in 2014 and the Brazilian-born Spaniard has since scored 36 goals in 78 games for the Blues. 

Despite a relatively good goal haul for Chelsea, the striker could still leave the club this summer and Atletico Madrid is a possible destination for the 27-year-old. 

Atletico Madrid's club president Enrique Cerezo has suggested that his side would like to sign Costa in an interview with Spanish newspaper 'Diario AS'. 

"[Costa] played for us for a few years and he's a really good player, no one can deny that. I don't know if Costa has spoken to [Antonio] Conte, but we're working to hard bring the best players to Atleti". 

Do you think Cerezo is implying that he will try to sign Costa this summer?
