CHELSEA IN FIGHT WITH COSTA
 |
| COSTA REJECTS 50K ADDED SALARY TO STAY AT THE BRIDGE |
Diego Costa rejected $200,000 a week contract offer from Chelsea before his training ground burst-up with Antonio Conte. It is said that the 28 year old was offered a $50,000 a week increase from his current salary, while the new five year deal would have kept him at Stamford Bridge until 2022.
But Costa rejected
Chelsea’s efforts and was subsequently involved in a burst- up with Conte and
his medical team over a back problem he suffered in training.
Chelsea have received an
$80 million bid from Tianjin for Costa, while the Chinese Super club are
willing to offer the Spain international a tax free salary worth $30m a year
plus a $5m signing on fee.
Costa has trained on
his own since missing Saturday’s 3-0 victory due to a back problem.
And Conte is unable to confirm
when his leading striker will return to the team, with Chelsea due to host Hull
City at Stamford Bridge on Sunday.
Player and a coach who never like each other?
