Diego Costa’s future at Chelsea remains uncertain despite Atletico Madrid’s transfer ban, but one thing’s for sure: the Blues have decided to move on from the Spaniard.
Antonio Conte is determined to break the club’s transfer record in order to bring in a new centre-forward and his preferred target is Everton’s Romelu Lukaku.
The Belgian striker endured a tough spell at Chelsea several years ago but has established himself as one of Europe’s finest young forwards at Goodison Park and he himself has signalled his intent to move.
A deal between the two clubs is yet to be agreed for Lukaku and if Chelsea continue to struggle in this regard, then their ‘Plan B’ is to swoop for Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, say the Daily Mail.
Chelsea and Liverpool are the leading Premier League clubs chasing the Dortmund striker this summer who can leave the Bundesliga side this summer if they receive an offer in excess of €70m before July 26, when they’re due to being pre-season training.
Manchester United will also rival Chelsea and Liverpool for Aubameyang if their move to sign Alvaro Morata from Real Madrid falls through.
