Diego Costa transfer to Milan not ruled out by Mendes after Silva signs

Speaking to Sky Sport Italia about the €38 million transfer of Andre Silva to AC Milan, Mendes also mentioned Costa but refused to go into finer detail about a potential move.

Mendes said: “Diego Costa to Milan? What I talk to Milan about, I won’t tell the press...”

The Spain international recently ruled out a move to China, amidst rumours Tianjin Quanjin would come back in for him after they had a big-money bid rejected in January.
