Antonio Conte has asked Diego Costa to forget about going to China and insisted: ‘Money is not everything.’

Mega-rich Chinese club Tianjin Quanjian are willing to offer £80m to Chelsea and give Costa a deal worth £30m-a-year TAX FREE plus a huge £5m signing-on fee, according to ="https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/football/">the Sun<.

Chelsea owner Roman Abramovich will not sell Costa despite his push to go until at least the summer as a point of principle.

That also comes on top of a reminder from Chelsea boss Conte that he did go to China for a huge pay day, with teammate William reported to be the next Chinese target.

That additionally goes ahead top of an update from Chelsea coach Conte that Costa would be throwing his career away if he went to China for a colossal pay day.
