Chelsea have confirmed that a deal has been agreed for Diego Costa to rejoin Atletico Madrid when the transfer window reopens in January.
The Spain international, who turns 29 next month, was told in the summer he had no future at Stamford Bridge.
A Chelsea statement read: “Chelsea Football Club has today agreed terms with Atletico Madrid for the transfer of Diego Costa.
“The transfer will be subject to the agreement of personal terms and a medical.”
Reports in Spain suggested the fee could be around £48.5m up front, with another £9m dependent on bonuses.
