The brother of want away Chelsea striker Diego Costa says the Spaniard is not short of options.
Costa said publicly this week that Blues boss Antonio Conte had sent him a message to let him know he was not wanted at Stamford Bridge.
The 28-year old has been linked with moves to AC Milan, Atletico Madrid and China.
When asked about the possibility of his brother moving to his native Brazil and playing for Palmeiras, Jair Costa told Yahoo Esportes: “To be honest, now, I find it very difficult. Many friends called me in the last hours to ask about it, but Diego did not comment on that.
“Diego, fortunately, has many offers. I cannot say how many there are, but they exist.”
Jair was then asked about China, to which he replied: “I think it’s very unlikely, because there is the World Cup next year and Diego Costa wants to be there.”
On Atletico Madrid, Jair added: “Diego has a great affection for Atletico, but there is nothing certain so far. We have to wait and see what will happen.”
The fiery attacker helped Chelsea to the Premier League title this season, having netted 20 goals in the competition.
However, Costa’s relationship with Conte was on the rocks all season and it now seems the Spain international will leave the club he joined from Atleti in 2014.
