Diego would 'love' Atletico return
Wolfsburg playmaker Diego has confessed that he would love to return to Atletico Madrid before the close of the summer transfer window.

The 28-year-old Brazilian has been repeatedly linked with a return to the Vicente Calderon, having enjoyed a season-long loan in the Spanish capital two years ago.

The Rojiblancos have yet to make a move for their former attacker but Diego admits he would relish the opportunity to team up with coach Diego Simeone once more.

The former Juventus man told COPE: "Everybody knows that Simeone and I have a special relationship. He is one of the best coaches in the world and it was a true pleasure working with him.

"Everybody knows the love I have for Atletico. I have a valuation and if they are not willing to pay that I must accept it.

"But at the moment I am only thinking about Wolfsburg and doing well for them."

Diego, whose current deal expires next summer, netted three times in 30 appearances throughout his year-long stay with the capital club.
