Diego Costa was shocked when Conte 'kicked' him out of Chelsea

The Spanish striker confirmed shocking news, coach Conte just sent a message informing him that he is no longer in Chelsea's playing plan for next season.

Diego Costa's future is a big question mark, since he had a disagreement with coach Conte earlier this year, because he wanted to defect to China to play football.

Costa had a disagreement with coach Conte earlier this year.

At that time, to resolve everything smoothly, the Italian coach accepted to "give in" and make peace with his student to stabilize Chelsea's internal situation.

Now that the 2016/17 season has come to an end, it is time for Conte to speak frankly with his student. Speaking after the 2-2 draw between Spain and Uruguay, Diego Costa admitted:

"Coach Antonio Conte texted me that I would no longer be able to wear the Chelsea shirt. Honestly, the relationship between me and the Italian coach has been quite bad recently.

Obviously Conte doesn't want me in the squad. I'm still a Chelsea player because I'm still under contract. But I'm looking for a new place."

Now Diego Costa must find a new destination.

Diego Costa's contract with Chelsea expires in June 2019. He has recently been linked with a return to Atletico Madrid, but the La Liga club is serving a transfer ban until early next year.

When asked about the possibility of rejoining Atletico, Costa added: "Years without playing football? I don't know what it would be like, everything would be complicated.

However, everyone knows that I love Atletico very much and I also feel comfortable living in Madrid. It would be great to come back here."

Pushing Diego Costa out of Stamford Bridge this summer, Chelsea is preparing to welcome the return of "old son" Romelu Lukaku.
