Diego Costa "refuses to train with Atletico Madrid & # 39; while the summer transfer calls

Diego Costa's career at Atletico Madrid could end after his refusal to coach him.

The former Chelsea striker will no longer play this season after being struck by an eight-match ban for his comments to the referee during the recent defeat against Barcelona.

In his minutes, the manager Gil Manzano claims that Costa told him twice: "I'm cheating on you with your mother" with a video evidence condemning the attacker.

AS reports that Costa has to face an internal action from Atletico for the referral, which led him to refuse to undergo training.

Costa was at the club's training ground on Thursday and, although the club confirmed he was not injured, he did not participate in the training session.

Costa was sentenced to a right play ban for two separate offenses: holding Manzano's arm to prevent him from booking his teammates and abusing the official.

Costa's long-term future at Atletico was uncertain before the incident. Diego Simeone has preferred Alvaro Morata since his move from Chelsea.

The Spaniard is under contract until 2023 but he has scored only five goals this season and information suggests that his last indiscretion could be the drop that will burst for the boss Diego Simeone.

It seems that Simeone lacks patience with Costa and that he will listen to his offers at the end of the season, a move to China having been considered.

Costa returned to Madrid in 2017 after three seasons with Chelsea.

He came to Stamford Bridge from Atletico and helped the Blues win two Premier League titles.

But his relationship with Antonio Conte deteriorated during his last few months in West London, with the Chelsea boss having told the attacker that he was not in his plans via SMS.
