Costa who has so far scored over 30 goals for Atletico this season, will come face-to-face with his proposed new club Chelsea when Atletico meet Chelsea in the Champions League semi-final on the 22nd of April.

The deal should be completed on June 30th and will equal the £50m club-record fee Chelsea paid Liverpool for Fernando Torres.
