Chelsea are reportedly in negotiations to sell Diego Costa to AC Milan for just £40million when they could have landed £76million for him if he’d gone to Tianjin Quanjin.
The Spain international has been strongly linked with a departure from Stamford Bridge for some time now, and it now looks like he’s finally heading out with a switch to the San Siro.
Costa had been linked with a big-money move to China but now looks set to leave for almost half what Tianjin Quanjin were ready to pay for him last month, according to the Daily Mirror.
Milan have been eyeing up some ambitious targets for this summer as they look to get back to the top in Serie A after a difficult few years.
Costa would be an ideal buy for the Italians in their bid to rebuild, with the 28-year-old showing himself to be one of the best players in the world in his time in west London.
Atletico Madrid was thought to be his preferred destination upon leaving Chelsea, but the La Liga giants were recently hit with a transfer ban until January.
Still, with Costa’s relationship with Antonio Conte at an all-time low, it now seems clear he is willing to consider other offers, with Milan leading the chase.
