Atletico Madrid reportedly intend to finalise a deal for Diego Costa in time to parade the striker in front of supporters ahead of their Champions League tie against Chelsea.
The Rojiblancos are close to agreeing personal terms with the Spain international, who is expected to set them back around £67m with various add-ons included.
As fate would have it, Atleti face Chelsea in a crucial Group C clash at their new 68,000-capacity Wanda Metropolitano home on Wednesday night.
According to The Sun, the La Liga outfit will give fans a chance to welcome the 28-year-old back to a place he describes as "home", even though they cannot officially register him until January.
Costa joined Chelsea from Atletico in 2014 for £32m, scoring 58 goals in his three years in West London.
