Diego Costa's hopes of moving to the Chinese Super League (CSL) have been scuppered by a new restriction on foreign players, according to Tianjin Quanjian's owner.



Billionaire Shu Yuhui claimed his club backed out of moves for Costa, Edinson Cavani, Karim Benzema, Radamel Falcao and Raul Jimenez following a rule change limiting the number of foreign players allowed in CSL matchday squads.



Verified sources understand Costa, who has been training alone with a back injury, was the subject of a £30m-a-year offer from Tianjin, who were willing to pay Chelsea up to £80m to sign the striker.



Yuhui confirmed he was interested in signing Costa before the decision to restrict foreign players....http://www.ninnomedia.com/2017/01/17/tianjin-quanjian-owner-says-diego-costa-move-restricted-by-chinese-super-league-rule-change/
