British press is reporting that Chelsea have offered Diego Costa to two Italian sides. Read more to find out.

British newspaper 'The Sun' is claiming that Chelsea have offered striker Diego Costa to Napoli and Inter Milan, in order to make room for transfer target Romelu Lukaku. 

All summer Chelsea boss Antonio Conte has dismissed that Costa would leave the club, denying that the Spaniard would re-join former club Atletico Madrid.

However, with the club recently pursuing Everton's Lukaku, Chelsea may need to make room for the Belgian, meaning that Costa may be the man to make way.

Both Napoli and Inter are likely to be interested should the reports prove to be true. Napoli may still want a striker to replace the recently departed Gonzalo Higuain, while Inter Milan captain Mauro Icardi has been linked with a move away from the San Siro all summer.
