SHOCKER! Inter Milan to make ambitious £50m move for Chelsea ace Costa
Posted Tuesday, November 29, 2016 by Tribalfootball.com
Inter Milan are being linked with an audacious pursuit of Chelsea striker Diego Costa.
Don Balon is reporting that the Italian club are plotting a shock £50million move for the Brazilian-born Spanish star in the January transfer window.
Inter's Chinese owners, the cashed-up Suning Holdings Group, are ready to make a splash in the winter market by spending up and bringing in top quality players to drive their Serie A title push, or more realistically, their Champions League chase.
The Nerazzurri currently have the likes of highly-rated, yet underperforming Gabriel Barbosa and Stevan Jovetic as back-up strike options for captain Mauro Icardi but manager Stefano Pioli feels a world-class attacker is required to bring Inter in from the wilderness.
Costa is in fine form with 10 goals and four assists in 13 Premier League games for Antonio Conte this term and is unlikely to be sold anytime soon, making Inter's expected pursuit basically futile.
But that does not stop the once proud club, who are also keen on Arsenal's Alexis Sanchez, from dreaming.
