Chelsea likely to agree £130million deal for Diego Costa

£130million price tag

 

Chelsea are reportedly open to selling Diego Costa this month - but want a mammoth £130million for the Spanish striker, reports ="http://www.thetimes.co.uk/edition/sport/chelsea-slap-130m-price-tag-on-diego-costa-tq0gk9wg3">The Sunday Times< .

 

The Blues would only flog the 14-goal hitman for a world-record fee, and the reported figure would dwarf the current benchmark of £89million paid by Manchester United for Paul Pogba.

Costa, 28, was omitted from Chelsea’s squad to take on Leicester in their last Premier League match, with boss Antonio Conte insisting a back injury was the reason.

But a reported big-money offer from China and a training-ground bust-up with his manager dominated headlines as the Blues recorded their 17th Premier League win of the season in the East Midlands.
