Diego Costa hints at Atletico Madrid stay

Diego Costa has hinted that he will remain at Atletico Madrid next season.

The Brazilian-born Spanish international forward has emerged as one of the top strikers in Europe this season, netting 27 times in 35 games for the capital outfit.

Chelsea and Manchester United have both been linked with his services, but the 25-year-old has claimed that he could remain with Diego Simeone's side.

"If the president says I'm going to stay at Atletico Madrid next season, who better to know than him?" he told reporters.

Costa started his professional career with Braga.
