Chelsea star ready to walk away from Stamford Bridge
The Brazilian has been linked with a return to former club Atletico Madrid, having been dumped by Whatsapp message by the Coach only a few days ago, Antonio Conte telling the Brazilian that he “wasn’t part of my plan”.
Speaking recently to the Spanish papers, the 28-year-old Costa revealed that: "Thanks to God I'm not lacking teams [to join]. If Chelsea don't want me I will choose the best option for me."
Prodded to say more, Costa simply stated that: "You need to ask Conte what has happened, he's the coach and if he has the option of signing someone else and doesn't want to have problems with a senior player then that's normal.
"But there are ways of saying things, ways of doing things.
The Brazilian was linked to a mega-money move to China last season, but could apparently leave for as little as €30 million.
Chelsea plan to replace him with Romelu Lukaku, journalist Emanuele Giulianelli saying that " Conte explained to Lukaku that in his plans, he would be the Blues’ starting forward".
