Atletico Madrid have Liverpool striker Origi as Diego Costa fall-back plan

Atletico Madrid have identified Divock Origi as an alternative if they fail to secure the services of Diego Costa, according to Bleacher Report.

Atletico are keen on securing the services of Costa from Chelsea but Blues manager Antonio Conte has already stated that he is not ready to sell the striker this summer.

As a result, Atleti boss Diego Simeone has had to look at alternative targets and now according to reports, revelations can be made that the Spanish giants will consider a swoop for Liverpool's Origi if indeed they fail with their pursuit of Costa.
