Real Madrid ponder 'hostile' bid for Atletico Madrid striker Diego Costa

Real Madrid are being linked with controversial move for Atletico Madrid striker Diego Costa.

The Brazilian has been a revelation this season under Atletico coach Diego Simeone.

El Economista says Real coach Jose Mourinho is a big fan of Diego Costa's style of play and feels he would be an excellent addition this summer.

The stumbling block will be the 'non-aggression' pact held between the two clubs over transfers.
