On June 9, while Costa was fulfilling his obligations to the Spanish national team in the 2018 World Cup qualifiers, the striker suddenly received a message from coach Conte, who is currently on leave with his family after a stressful season.
The content of the message is very concise but it is enough to make Costa feel "hot", Conte wrote: "Hello Diego, I hope you are fine. Thank you for what we have done together. Wishing you luck next season, but you are no longer in my plans."
Of course, being left out of the squad by the coach from next season is not too surprising for Costa because he himself had been rushing to leave since January, but being "d like to be left out" in this way, for Costa, is a disrespectful act of Conte towards him.
After receiving the message from Conte, Costa immediately gave it to his teammates at Chelsea in the hope of receiving sympathy and above all, "exposing" Conte's prowess. However, it was this action that made outsiders think Costa was not noble. If he had been silent, accepting everything and letting others judge him, things would probably have gone in a different direction.
Costa will leave Chelsea and this is also the time for other clubs in the world to welcome the 28-year-old striker.
AC Milan is emerging as the most "thirsty" European club Costa, the transfer fee is not necessarily a problem for Milan, but Costa's salary of 200,000 pounds/week is an unresolved problem for Rossoneri. In addition to Milan, Costa's China is also a destination of choice. If he comes to Asia, all the Spanish striker's money needs will be solved, but his expertise is another story.
