Following reports of a pending move from China for Chelsea striker Diego Costa, Costa’s agent Jorge Mendes met with the chairman of Tianjin Quanjian today.

Jorge Mendes is also the agent of Cristiano Ronaldo and James Rodríguez so he could just be in China for any of his other players but with rumours of Tianjin Quanjin interested in Costa, it’s really difficult to not link Mendes’ visit to Costa.

Costa earns around £150,000 and Tianjin Quanjin are reportedly prepared to pay Costa more than £570,000 per week to move to China.

Costa has been key to Chelsea’s surge to the summit of the Premier League this season and every Chelsea fan would be hoping the striker remains at Chelsea.
