Diego Costa has reportedly sold his fleet of cars as he closes in on an exit from Chelsea and a return to Spain.

Blues striker Costa is AWOL from Stamford Bridge after he was advised earlier this summer he was not in Antonio Conte's plans.

Chelsea have requested he returns and reports for training, but the Spaniard is, so far, continuing his exile.

And he has now taken another step towards leaving for good, flogging a Mercedes and a BMW, while his club Range Rover has been moved to a youth team bay at Cobham, according to The Sun.

Costa has been included in Chelsea's Premier League squad after failing to secure a move away during the summer transfer window.

The Spanish international is desperate for a return to Atletico Madrid, but the Liga side are under embargo until January.

Costa will likely secure the switch when the transfer window reopens, in the meantime he looks set to continue racking up fines for his absence from west London.
