charge of his own future amid speculation CSL side
Tianjin Quanjian are willing to pay £75million for
him and has stressed a move to China is by no
means a done deal.
The Spain international was keen to leave Chelsea
for Atletico Madrid for personal reasons ahead of
the 2016-17 campaign, but a return to the Vicente
Calderon never materialised.
He was then heavily linked with a move to China in
the January transfer window.
Costa continues to be the subject of rumours
suggesting he will leave Stamford Bridge, with
recent reports suggesting Tianjin are ready to
splash the cash on the 28-year-old.
The striker's deal runs until June 2019 but if he
does choose to depart, he insists it will not
necessarily be for a switch to the CSL.
"I am in charge of my own future and that does not
mean that I am going to China," he told
DIRECTVSports.
Costa has been a key figure for Chelsea this
campaign, scoring 20 goals in 33 Premier League
outings to fire Antonio Conte's side to the brink of
the title - a win at West Brom on Friday will see
them lift the trophy.
