Sky Sports sources understand that AC Milan have made a shock move to try to sign Chelsea striker Diego Costa. The players agent, Jorge Mendes, is reported to have met Rossoneri CEO Marco Fassone and sporting director Massimo Mirabelli before last weekend’s Champions League Final and further discussions are now scheduled for later this week.
 

The Italian giants have spending power at their disposal this summer after the Chinese takeover and coach Vincenzo Montella has been promised some top quality reinforcements ahead of the new campaign.
 

With their chase for another Spanish international striker, Real Madrid’s Alvaro Morata, looking to have hit the buffers and with Torino still holding out for the £87M release clause for Italian star Andrea Belotti, the Rossoneri have now targeted Chelsea’s unsettled star.
 

Costa has told reporters after his country’s 2-2 draw with Colombia on Wednesday that Chelsea boss Antonio Conte has already messaged him telling him he’s surplus to requirements at Stamford Bridge.
