AC Milan make a move on Diego Costa

Sky Sports is reporting that Italian giants AC Milan are in talks to sign Chelsea striker Diego Costa.

The Rossoneri chiefs Massimiliano Mirabelli and Marco Fassone met with super agent Jorge Mendes in Cardiff ahead of the Champions League final, and spoke about his clients Diego Costa, James Rodriguez and Andre Silva.

And having had bids rejected for both Alvaro Morata and Andrea Belotti, AC Milan look set to turn their attention towards the Chelsea striker.

Diego Costa confessed earlier today that Antonio Conte did not see him in his first team plans for the new season, meaning a summer exit is on the cards.

And while the Spaniard would prefer to return to Atletico Madrid, he is not prepared to wait until January to play for los Colchoneros, who cannot register new players due to the transfer ban.

Costa has also been heavily linked with a move to China, but he is likely to be tempted by the prospect of joining AC Milan.
