The Spain international continues to be heavily linked with a summer transfer, but Tianjin Quanjian have distanced themselves from any possible deal
Tianjin Quanjian insist they have made no contact with Chelsea striker Diego Costa and are eager to avoid “overpriced signings”.
The Spain international remains the subject of intense speculation ahead of the summer transfer window, with a big-money move being mooted.
A switch to the Chinese Super League has been rumoured for some time, with lucrative offers reported to have turned Costa’s head in January.
He was to stay put and fire Chelsea to the Premier League title with a 20-goal haul, and one CSL side has now come to out to distance themselves from talk of any fresh interest from Asia.
