The Spain international falled out with manager Antonio Conte, who told him his services are no longer needed at the Bridge via a text message.
He won two Premeir League titles with the Blues during his three-year spell at the London club.
And after completing his return to Atletico Madrid, he penned an emotional farewell letter to Chelsea fans.
Costa wrote on his Facebook page: “Some cycles begin while others end. My cycle at Chelsea began three years ago – three remarkable years in all aspects – and I will never forget it.
“Two championship titles, a Community Shield, 120 matches, 59 goals and 24 assists later this cycle has ended. Not the way I would have wanted – far from it – but the best way possible.
“The wonderful fans of such equally admirable club and all team-mates, as well as all clinical, administrative and logistics staff will remain forever in my mind and in my heart.
“Will bring them with me with the certainty that I will always be by their side as well, and I’m sure they will understand the reason why this cycle of mine has now ended – because I could not lose faith in myself. Thank you Chelsea for everything!”
