The Chinese club has come out to deny any contact with the Spain forward as rumours of a massive transfer swirl
Diego Costa may well be headed to China this summer, but the club he's been linked with, Tianjin Quanjian, has put out a statement to try and calm the speculation.
The club's billionaire owner, Shu Yuhui, fueled speculation Thursday with his comments saying the Chinese Super League side have secured pre-contract agreements over the transfers of "two or three" big names.
The Chelsea striker was widely tabbed as one of those big names, with reports claiming that the Brazil-born Spain international was set for a record-breaking move to China.
