To be fair, Roberto wouldn't be trying as hard as he is to get him if Romelu hadnt given him an indication that he wants to stay.

Players barely ever are involved in swap deals.
When a rumour mentions a swap it's a sure fire way of knowing the rumour's bollocks.

They're paying £32m... which is his release clause.
Exactly why would they need a "sweetener"?
Apparently they don't want to pay the full 32m due to taxes

Although Rom would be far too much of a sweetner for that, would far more likely be sorted in some deal for Courtois's wages if he goes there on loan again.
I'm paraphrasing - the standard are saying its part of the deal to bring Costa to Chelsea

Ok fine, but given that it seems all they need to do is get Atletico to accept an "open bid" of £1 below the buyout clause, I can't really see it being a problem.
Agree, one way or another it is not going to be a problem and generally subscribe to @Eric Djemba-Djemba views on player swaps.
Was just posting the taxes stuff cos I found it interesting - especially if in the future we are linked with buying out a Spanish player's release clause.
Lad?
His Price would be about 25MIllion
