Chelsea striker could make switch to China

 

Chelsea striker Diego Costa could make a big money move to China at the end of the season, according to the Daily Telegraph.

 

The Spain international has been heavily linked with a move away from Stamford Bridge, with a return to Atletico Madrid mooted.

 

However, if the Spanish side are unable to finance a move for Costa, a potential switch to China is on the cards.

A number of Chinese sides are prepared to spend upwards of £70m to secure his services, with the same report suggesting they'd be prepared to pay the 27-year-old double his £185k-a-week wages he earns at Chelsea.

 

Incoming head coach Antonio Conte will sit down with Costa to decide his future before a decision is made, though the striker's expected to depart for pastures new, with PSG also said to be interested.
