Costa shocks Chelsea teammates with Conte text exchange

Diego Costa has stunned his Chelsea team-mates by sending them all his angry text exchange with Antonio Conte.

According to Mirror Sport, Costa took a screen shot of the messages between him and Conte and sent it to club staff and the players.

It will infuriate Conte that Costa is trying to undermine him after the Chelsea striker went public on his incredible fall-out at Stamford Bridge.

The text read: “Hi Diego, I hope you are well. Thanks for the seasono [sic] we spent together. Good luck for the next year but you are not in my plan”

That has caused a major ruction at Chelsea because club officials know it could cost them millions as interested clubs will try to get him on the cheap as Conte is desperate to sell.

But Costa’s latest move could make matters even worse and is also clearly designed to make Conte look bad to the players and club hierarchy.

It is now though impossible for Costa - despite winning the title twice in three years - to ever play under Conte again at Chelsea.
