Costa: Atletico is my home
The 28-year-old has arrived in Spain to undergo a medical after it was announced on Thursday that his former club have re-signed him from Chelsea for a fee believed to be in the region of £58m.
Costa joined Chelsea from Atletico in 2014 and they have won two titles in three seasons since, with the help of 59 goals in 120 games from the forward.
"I wanted to return (to Atletico). I'm not going to be ungrateful to Chelsea, where I was also very happy, playing in a team that was great.
"Atletico is my home and I'm here."
Having not taken part in pre-season training with Chelsea, Costa may be short of peak fitness but he said: "I'm not as bad as some say and here we have El Profe Ortega (Atletico's fitness coach Oscar Ortega) who is going to have me in shape.
"The scales don't scare me, his training sessions scare me!"
The Brazilian-born forward will not be able to play for Atletico until January due to their transfer ban, but remains thrilled about the move to the Wanda Metropolitano.
