Chinese club Tianjin Quanjian tried to sign Chelsea striker Diego Costa during the January transfer window but a bid for the striker was rejected by Chelsea.
According to SFR Sport reporter Johnny Severin, Chelsea are willing to let Costa leave in the summer if a bid of €150 million is made for the striker.

Chelsea will make a profit of almost £100 million on 28-year-old Costa if a bid of €150 million (£127 million) is received for Costa. Chelsea signed Costa for £32 million in 2014.
Costa will become the most expensive player in the world if the deal goes through in the summer.
