Any person, no matter what job they do, if they are offered double/treble their wage, is going to be interested. In Costa’s case, I would look no further than his agent, as to where it all started from. When did he say he did not want to play for Chelsea?
That text message is very relevant.
Imagine, you are on your holiday, enjoying yourself in the sun with the family, having a pint, when you get a message from the boss, saying that there’s no need for you to return to work because blah blah blah.
IMO that was a cowardly thing for Conte to do.
