Valencia fear Kondogbia's transfer as Atletico look for Costa replacement

Valencia have been put on high alert following Diego Costa's request that Atletico Madrid rescind his contract.

Los Che know that, should Costa end up departing the Wanda Metropolitano, Atletico may well look to Mestalla for a replacement.

Maxi Gomez has always been on the radar of Diego Simeone's side and the striker was linked to Los Rojiblancos in the summer.

However, Valencia decided they would prioritise the sales of other key players such as Dani Parejo, Francis Coquelin and Rodrigo Moreno because of their respective contract situations.
