Chelsea are reportedly open to selling Diego Costa this month - but want a mammoth £130million for the Spanish striker, reports 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.
