Shu Yuhui, owner of Tainjin Quanjian,
said his club had made a recent move for
the forward
Chinese Super League side Tainjin Quanjian
claim to have made a recent offer for
Chelsea’s
Diego Costa , alleged to be in the region of
£90m.
The Spaniard’s future at Stamford Bridge
looked
to be in jeopardy earlier this year after reports
of
a training ground bust-up between Costa
and
manager Antonio Conte surfaced, with the
28-
year-old reportedly subject to interest from
Asia.
It was claimed earlier this week in France that
the
forward was offered a salary of £85m across
three seasons, which Costa was prepared to
take.
Chelsea sought to play down speculation
surrounding their top goal-scorer but Shu
Yuhui,
owner of Tainjin Quanjian, recently claimed
that
his club had in fact made a move for the
forward.
“Theoretically speaking, there is no limit on
transfer budget in the summer. We can target
whoever we want,” Yuhui said.
“But on several occasions, our targets are
reluctant to join us.
“We made an attempt for Pato last year but
he is
not willing to come because our club was still
in
second division then. After we get promoted,
he
came.
PLAY
“We also approached Diego Costa and other
stars. It remains to be seen who will join us in
June but I can assure you that the new
players
will be on the same level as Costa.”
Fall-out from the Costa incident has since
faded
away and the former Atletico Madrid man has
returned to force, finding the back of the net
in
Chelsea’s last two games.
