The west London club met Costa’s release clause and agreed terms understood to be around £150,000-per-week.
The star striker would be Jose Mourinho’s first summer signing and the Chelsea boss is keen to sign another forward, with Bayern Munich’s Mario Mandzukic among his list of targets.
Mourinho is also hopeful of raiding Atletico for left back Filipe Luis and midfielder Tiago.
Thibaut Courtois looks like returning from Atletico, after Mourinho told the goalkeeper he wants him at Chelsea.
The Belgian, 22, would be returning after three seasons on loan in Madrid, where he has established himself as one of Europe’s best keepers.
