# Costa may consider Chinese Super League

Spanish striker, Diego Costa could consider a summer move to the Chinese Super League, according to the [Telegraph](https://www.telegraph.co.uk/football/2016/04/07/chelsea-striker-diego-costa-may-consider-chinese-super-league-tr/?).

The former Atletico Madrid man is keen to secure a move away from Chelsea in the summer after becoming fed up with life at Chelsea due to constant criticism for his behaviour on the pitch.

Costa’s agent, Jorge Mendes, has built up relationships in the Chinese Super League since its emergence, which could help seal a move in the summer.

Parties in China are thought to be keen on a deal also and could spend up to £72m to secure a deal.

If Costa was to move to the Chinese Super League, he could potentially double is £185,000-a-week wages, making a deal more appealing for the striker.

Chelsea could also push for a deal in China for the money, as well as it ruling out the chances of him coming back to haunt the club for another team.
