According to reports from the London Evening Standard, Chelsea could lose striker Diego Costa in a potential £80 million deal.
Costa’s future at Chelsea has been cast in doubt following a reported bust-up with manager Antonio Conte and the Spanish attacker will now not be featuring during the clash against Leicester City this weekend.
It has not taken long for the media to link Costa with a move away from Stamford Bridge and now according to reports from the London Evening Standard, the 28-year-old could potentially be on his way to China.
Claims have been made that Chinese Super League side Tianjin Quanjian have identified Costa as their next high profile target and are ready to pay the striker as much as £570,000-a-week to get the deal done.
To add fuel to the fire, Costa’s agent Jorge Mendes was pictured meeting Tianjin Quanjian chairman Shu Yuhui recently and there has since been speculation that the powerful representative potentially held talks over a move for the striker.
