The transfer of Diego Costa to Chelsea has been confirmed, with the London club reaching an agreement with Atletico Madrid for a fee reported to be around €39 million. Costa, who had a stellar season with Atletico, will join Chelsea, adding firepower to their attacking lineup.
With Costa’s departure, Atletico Madrid is now considering Romelu Lukaku as a potential replacement. Lukaku, who had an impressive season with Everton, scoring 14 goals, is still owned by Chelsea but has been on loan for the past two seasons, initially at West Bromwich Albion and then at Everton.
Lukaku’s future, however, remains uncertain, as Chelsea faces tough competition in the striking department. Tottenham and Everton are also reportedly interested in the Belgian striker, indicating a high demand for his services.
According to reports from the Daily Mail, a potential transfer involving Lukaku could see him moving to Atletico Madrid as part of an exchange deal, along with financial compensation, for Diego Costa. This move would provide Lukaku with the opportunity for a fresh start and more consistent playing time at a top club like Atletico.
As the transfer window approaches and the World Cup looms, the futures of both Costa and Lukaku are likely to be subjects of intense speculation and negotiation in the football world.
