Simeone says he won’t be surprised if a financially powerful team acquires Costa

Atletico Madrid take on Chelsea in the Champions League in a massive semi-final clash. Atletico Madrid have been the standout side of the season, impressing both domestically and in Europe, without seemingly having the same resources as some of their counterparts.

And as a result, teams like their opponents, will be able to acquire their prized assets. Chelsea’s lack of striking options has raised their interest in Atletico’s danger man, Diego Costa. Rumours are rife that the Brazilian turned Spaniard will be the subject of a lucrative bid from the London club.

Talking ahead of the game, Diego Simeone has stated that he won’t be surprised if a financially powerful club was able to acquire the services of Diego Costa. Ofcourse, this doesn’t mean anything and could be a form of mind games. But it was interesting to see how Simeone never turned away any potential bidders. Atletico Madrid have bee known in the past to produce quality strikers and sell them for a massive profit while immediately replacing them with another quality individual. Could this be Simeone’s plan again?
