He's prepared to remain in exile in Brazil for a year.

Diego Costa has criticised Chelsea's treatment of him this summer, saying he is "not a criminal" and is prepared to remain in exile in Brazil for a year.

The 28-year-old Brazil-born Spain striker joined Chelsea from Atletico Madrid in July 2014 and has twice won the Premier League title during his three years at Stamford Bridge.
