Chelsea will reportedly have to take a £20million hit on wantaway striker Diego Costa.
The Spain international is currently AWOL in Brazil after failing to report back to training with the Premier League champions this summer as his Stamford Bridge career looks to be over.
According to the Sun , Antonio Conte's side value the striker at £50million, but Atletico Madrid will only cough up £30million to bring their former player back to Spain.
Costa is due to fly out to Madrid, where he still has a house, next week.
