COSTA HAS LOTS OF OFFERS, SAYS STRIKER'S BROTHER.


Diego Costa has "lots of offers" to leave Chelsea this summer, according to the striker's brother.

Blues boss Antonio Conte told the 28-year-old he's not in his plans for next the coming season, via text.

Costa would love to return to Atletico Madrid, though La Liga club's transfer ban remains a stumbling block.

AC Milan has been identified as another possible destination while a host of Chinese Super League clubs remain keen.

And Costa's brother Jair has revealed there are a number of bids on the table for the striker, who would rather remain in Europe.

"Thankfully Diego has lots of offers. I can't say how many but they exist," he told Yahoo Brazil.

"He has great affection for Atletico but right now, there is nothing [concrete]. We have to wait and see what happens."

Asked about a possible move to China, he added: "That is very difficult because next year is the World Cup and Diego wants to be there."

Everton striker Romelu Lukaku and Real Madrid's star Alvaro Morata have been identified as possible replacements.
