  • The Brazilian-born Spanish international has been strongly associated with a summer switch to the Blues since the turn of the year, and Goal.com claims that a deal could be struck by the end of the season.

     

    It is understood that Chelsea's representatives met up with the Spanish outfit over a potential deal for the player, and further talks have been scheduled when the clubs face-off during the Champions League semi-finals later this month.

     

    The report also claims that the Blues are willing to triple Costa's current weekly wage structure of £50,000.
