DIEGO COSTA has “many offers” to leave Chelsea this summer.
That’s according to his brother, who claims that the Spanish striker will have his pick of the clubs after being booted out of Stamford Bridge by Antonio Conte.
Costa’s west London adventure is at an end after being told to pack his bags via text.
Chelsea are closing in on a move for Everton star and former player Romelu Lukaku.
And after pushing for a Chinese Super League switch in January, Costa is finally being granted his wish by Conte – although the player now protests he wants to stay put.
Atletico Madrid are interested despite serving a transfer ban until 2018, with AC Milan also linked.
However, there are apparently many more deals on the table, with brother Jair telling Yahoo Esportes: “Diego, fortunately, has many offers. I cannot say how many there are, but they exist.
