Recent reports indicate that Antonio Conte does not have Diego Costa in his plans for the next premiership season and he has told the play so by text message; can you believe that?
It was Costa who disclosed that Conte has told him by next that he was not in his Chelsea plan for next season. An unkind cut some may say given Costa’s prolific goal scoring ability which helped Chelsea to win the premier league.
But many are likely to blame Costa too who had left too much uncertainty to surround his future: there were endless reports linking him to China. He later said it would be either Chelsea or Atletico Madrid.
With Atletico facing a ban now, Costa’s return there is unlikely. Many premiership clubs are expected to come knocking at his doors.
Also, reports have emerged that Manchester United will release Zlatan Ibrahimovic. The prolific striker signed from PSG by Jose Mourinho has been battling to recover from an injury. He scored many goals for the club , before the injury set in.
