Substance to Costa loan links?

A rumour on Twitter that Atletico Madrid have agreed a £45m deal with Chelsea that will see Diego Costa return to his former club after joining Everton on loan has been causing a stir this afternoon.

The Spanish international striker has been linked with the Blues over the past week or so as the media have picked up and run with Ronald Koeman's coyness when he was asked about the possibility of signing him on loan.

Costa has been trying to engineer a move back to Atletico all summer but the Spanish club's six-month transfer embargo has complicated his efforts.

A post by Sergio Ortiz of ConexionATM, which appears to be a fan video channel, claims that the Madrid club have finally settled on a fee with Chelsea and that they will loan Costa out to Everton, but doesn't specify whether it would be until January or for the rest of the current season.

Thus far, there has been no corroboration of the claim by any even half-reputable media outlet.
