Chelsea set for €90m windfall after Diego Costa signs CSL pre-contract

Diego Costa was spotted having dinner last Friday in London with agent Jorge Mendes and four others, and Cadena Ser has the skinny on what the topic of conversation was at the supper party.

The outlet reports that the men were representatives of Tianjin Quanjian and that Costa has already signed a pre-contract to move to the Chinese Super League in a deal that will see the Spain international earn €30 million per year to play alongside Alexandre Pato and Axel Witsel.

Chelsea are apparently well aware of the deal, which will be finalised at some point in May, and will use the reported €90m transfer fee to sign one of Antonio Conte's top summer targets in Real Madrid's Alvaro Morata.
