The publication Cadena Ser has spread the information that Diego Costa has already reached a preliminary agreement on a contract with Tianjin Songjiang. At the same time the Spaniard ostensibly should earn 29 million euros for a year in China, and Chelsea would receive for it 88 million.
These rumors were replicated throughout the world and reached, including up to China. But the club, in the attack which is now operated by Alexandre Pato and Junior Moraes, hastened to refute everything.
"The club would like to clarify the situation: there were no negotiations on the transfer of Diego Costa," - says the statement of Tianjin Songjiang on the page in the local social network Weibo.
In 32 Premier League games this season, Diego Costa scored 19 goals and made 6 assists.
