Atletico Madrid is looking to lock up Diego Costa through the summer transfer window, according to Real GM on Wednesday.

Costa recorded 35 goals in all competitions for the Spanish football power Atletico Madrid, making him a target for much wealthier squads such Chelsea, Manchester United and even Real Madrid.

"Last year we wanted to consolidate the group of players that we currently have," said sporting director Jose Luis Caminero in an interview with Movistar.

"We renewed the contracts of pretty much all of them, including Diego Costa.

"Our minds are set on keeping this group of players together and steadily bring in one or two more, who can reinforce what we're doing with our project. We want all our big players to stay and we're planning for next season with him."
