Chelsea striker Diego Costa could be set for a stunning move to the Chinese Super League following his row with Antonio Conte.
The 28-year-old striker has been left out of the squad that will play Leicester City at the King Power stadium on Saturday after disagreeing with Conte over his fitness issues.
Reports have it that Costa complained about having a pain at his back which was debunked by the Italian boss and his medical staff, and got the striker furious.
Following the incident, Costa’s agent Jorge Mendes was spotted alongside Tianjin Quanjin billionaire owner Shu Yuhui which has sparked speculations that the former Atletico Madrid foward could be set for an imminent exit.
It is understood that the Chinese club is ready to pay an astronomical fee of around £80 million for Costa and could set to earn a staggering wage bill of £570,000-a-week.
Chelsea duo of Oscar and Mikel Obi had already make the move to the Far East league and there are increased concerns over the future of Diego Costa, who was a subject of a return to his former side, Atletico Madrid but changed his mind.
Diego Costa has been in a stunning form in the Premier League, helping the Blues to the top of the table despite their slow start.
