Romelu Lukaku has not returned to Chelsea
yet, because Diego Costa is refusing to join
another club apart from Atletico Madrid.
Costa is adamant that he will not be pushed
out the door by manager Antonio Conte, who
has already told him to look for another club
ahead of the new season.
The delay in offloading the Spain striker, is
now complicating his efforts to land top
target Romelu Lukaku from Everton, as his
replacement.
It is understood that Costa has rejected a
move to the Chinese Super League, as he
holds out for a return to Atletico, who are
banned from registering new players until
January 2018.
Costa has two years left on his £150,000-a-
week deal at Stamford Bridge.
