Chelsea striker Diego Costa is reportedly set to sign a new deal at Stamford Bridge worth a whopping £57million.
The Spain striker was the subject of bids from the Chinese Super League during last month's transfer window, but according to the Sun, he is now ready to commit his future to the Blues.
They report that an agreement has been reached in principle which will see the striker net £220,000-a-week plus bonuses, which could see him ney as much as £65milion over five years.
While this does not match the offer of £30million-a-year that Tianjin Quanjin were ready to offer him it, the new deal will make the 28-year-old the highest-paid player at Stamford Bridge.
