Tianjin Quanjian would break new ground for CSL with Diego Costa capture

This is a modal window.

Alison Bender and Gab Marcotti discuss whether moving to the Chinese Super League would be the right move for Diego Costa.

Summer is fast approaching but reports linking Diego Costa to Chinese Super League side Tianjin Quanjian have already returned.

Costa was heavily linked with the North-East club this past winter, to the point that a heated training ground row with coach Antonio Conte left him out of contention at Chelsea for a few days in January.

But while the end of the window brought some respite, The Sun reported last week that a meeting between the Brazilian, his agent and Chinese officials had taken place, and now Spain's El Larguero are reporting he has signed a pre-agreement with Chelsea with the club set to receive around €90 million for the player.
