Diego Costa is ready to talk to Everton over a stunning return to the Premier League after two years away, according to The Sun.
The arrival of Joao Felix and Alvaro Morata’s permanent deal means the 30-year-old can leave Atletico Madrid this summer.
The striker came close to joining Everton in 2017 and his strained relationship with Atletico Madrid means a summer departure is likely.
The fiery striker was given an eight-game ban last season for insulting a referee in a game against Barcelona.
Costa was both controversial and successful during a three-year spell at Chelsea.
He won two Premier League titles under Jose Mourinho and Antonio Conte but his time at Stamford Bridge ended in acrimony when he fled to Brazil and accused the club of treating him like a 'criminal'.
It would be a risk for Everton to try and bring him back to the Premier League but his tenacity as an old-fashioned No 9 would play well with the Goodison faithful.
Everton owner Farhad Moshiri is keen to drive interest in the club ahead of their move to a new stadium at Bramley Dock. They have already signed Andre Gomes in a £22million deal from Barcelona.
Everton are in the process of trying to find new homes for a number of players including Yanick Bolasie, Mo Besic, Kevin Mirallas, Cenk Tosun and Oumar Niasse.

He did not fled to Brazil. Conte tried to treat him like a dog. He was told he wasn't wanted in a text message. He gave everything for Chelsea and Conte wouldn't even talk to him face to face. He was a huge star for Chelsea and their supporters loved him.

for me Morata is not a starting striker and he should be brought from bench.. Costa should start each game and Felix is too weak to play full game so it's better to have a striker like Costa in your squad..
