Atletico Madrid striker Diego Costa open to Spain call

Atletico Madrid striker Diego Costa is open to playing for Brazil or Spain.

Although the 24-year old has already featured twice for Brazil, due to the fact that both games were friendlies he would still be eligible to play for Spain should they call him up.

"Nobody has contacted me but I won't say no to whoever calls me up first. How would I say no to a national team manager?" he told La Sexta.

"Spain have strikers like Negredo, Soldado and Villa. They have the best ones, it's very hard to get called up."
