Diego Costa willing to have showdown talks with Antonio Conte over Chelsea
future and may play for Blues again
Exclusive By Martin Lipton and Neil Custis - Updated: 8th July 2017, 11:08 am
DIEGO COSTA is willing to have showdown talks with Antonio Conte — and
could yet play for Chelsea next season. The Spain striker is open to a
Stamford Bridge return despite being dumped by boss Conte via text message
last month.
科斯塔希望和孔蒂一谈，经过上个月的短信事件后，西班牙前锋仍可能留队。
Costa is in limbo, with his preferred move back to Atletico Madrid
impossible before January because of the Spanish side's transfer ban.
However, the Blues' long-time target Romelu Lukaku's probable move to
Manchester United has opened the door for a possible reconciliation.
马竞夏天被禁转后，科斯塔的前途就陷入了浑沌，但随着卢卡库即将加入曼联，科斯
塔看到一线生机。
The 28-year-old needs to be playing to be considered for Spain's World Cup
squad next summer — and sources close to the player insist he would
return to London.
考量到明年的世界杯，科斯塔需要上场时间。球员身边的消息来源透露，科斯塔将会
回到伦敦。
Costa rejected a new contract offer from the Blues at the end of last
season, a decision which Conte saw as untrustworthy.
科斯塔上赛季末拒绝续约，此举被孔蒂质疑。
Chelsea are now faced with paying over the odds for the likes of Andrea
Belotti or Alvaro Morata, who would each cost in excess of ￡70million.
They also have an interest in Swansea's Spanish striker Fernando Llorente
but he is not in Costa's class.
目前莫拉塔和贝罗蒂身价都超过7000万英镑，备案略伦特则不是同一水平的球员。
A truce with Costa — even for just next season — would be a more
cost-effective option, though the ￡180,000-a-week hitman would demand a
pay rise.
事实是，就算只用一个赛季，科斯塔也是相对经济的选择，尽管他可能要求涨薪。
Costa's agent, Jorge Mendes, is understood to have contacted Chelsea
chiefs with a view to arranging a peace summit. But senior club officials
concede the final decision is the manager's.
据了解，门德斯已接触俱乐部主管，希望展开和平会谈，但高层认为最终决定权在孔
蒂手上。
Meanwhile, Conte's frustration at Chelsea's lack of transfers is set to be
eased with the completion of midfielder Tiemoue Bakayoko's move from
Monaco. The Blues will pay around ￡35m for the France midfielder, while
another ￡34m is going on Roma's Germany defender Antonio Rudiger.
同时，孔蒂的焦虑可望随着3500万镑的巴卡约科和3400万镑的鲁迪格加盟得到缓解。
Having seen Lukaku snatched from under their noses, though, fuming Chelsea
are reluctant to do business with United over midfielder Nemanja Matic.
The Old Trafford club will instead turn their attentions back to
Tottenham's ￡50m-rated Eric Dier — as SunSport first revealed in March.
至于马蒂奇的交易可能因卢卡库转会就此告吹。
United are also finalising Wayne Rooney's switch back to first club
Everton, while Lukaku, 24, has already been training with Paul Pogba in
Los Angeles ahead of the United squad's arrival.
鲁尼准备回家。
