Diego Costa has accused Chelsea FC of treating him like a “criminal”, in a forthright newspaper interview which will deepen the breach with the Premier League club.



The striker is seeking a move back to Spain in the transfer window.


He has not played for Chelsea since the FA Cup final in May, following which he claims manager Antonio Conte sent him a text, telling him he was not in his plans for the new season.



Costa was interviewed at home in Brazil on the same day Chelsea lost their opening Premier League game to Burnley and said he was refusing the club’s demand to return to play with the reserves.



“They want me to be there training with the reserves. I wouldn’t be allowed access to the first-team dressing room and I would have no contact at all with the guys,” he told the Daily Mail.


“I’m not a criminal! I don’t think it is fair after all I have done to be treated like that.”



The Brazilian-born Spain international, who joined Chelsea from Atletico Madrid in 2014, said if the club did not allow him to move before the transfer window he was prepared to see out his contract unpaid in Brazil.



“I am open to being a year in Brazil without playing, even if Chelsea fine me for a year and don’t pay me.



“I’ll come back stronger. If I was in the wrong, I’d go back now and do as they say.



“I want the deal with Atletico resolved this month. My idea would be to go to Madrid, train there, get in the best physical shape and be ready to fire ahead of the World Cup.”



The situation is complicated by the fact that Atletico are currently banned from signing players in this window although a loan deal would be possible.



Costa’s relationship with Conte appears to have broken down although the Brazilian accepts the Italian “is a good coach”.



Last week Conte said there was “no news” on the Costa situation but earlier this summer said the “situation is closed.”

Good player. Better than the bum called morata

Chelsea,the ungrateful team.

Costa was an indispensable tool to their EPL 2016/2017 triumph.Despite his goal scoring exploits,the manager decides to ridicule him out of the team by sending him an "ordinary" text message to inform him about his irrelevance in the team.Imagine!...Not even a Phone Call or a physical discussion.

That was how Diego Costa was disgraced out of the team because of a "frivolous" excuse of him to be fiery temper which can be easily solved by employing a Psychologist or engaging him maturely about how his attitude affects the team.


Let's wait to see a successor that will be as resilient as this gentleman is.


Please...Don't mention me and type Morata.

Though you are a good player. But I think they are right base on your behavior.

I would have pitied him but he is truly a terrorist.

He masterminded the illegal sending off of Arsenal's Gabriel Paulista in September 2015. That cost us the match.
