Chelsea's Diego Costa is closing in on a move to China that will see him become the best-paid player in world football.
Tianjin Quanjian believe they have an agreement in principle to complete a stunning £75million (NZ$143m) deal for the forward after the current season having failed with an attempted swoop in January.
T he Chinese club are now confident of making the money-spinning signing in the coming weeks.
If, as expected, the switch is ratified, Costa will become the highest-paid player on the planet - earning an eye-watering £620,000 (NZ$1.1m) per week after tax.
Photographs emerged last week of Costa meeting with super-agent Jorge Mendes, at which Tianjin officials were understood to be present.
