According to The Sun, agent Jorge Mendes has ‘offered’ Chelsea striker Diego Costa to PSG; whilst Football Insider claim Liverpool have joined the race to sign Celtic defender Kieran Tierney.
The Spain international has notched eleven goals and five assists in 24 Premier League appearances this season but his future at Stamford Bridge beyond the summer transfer window remains uncertain – especially with the Blues announcing the appointment of Italy manager Antonio Conte this afternoon.
It is often claimed the 27-year-old has never truly settled in west London since arriving from Atletico Madrid in summer 2014 and the La Liga outfit are expected to attempt re-signing their former assassin during the coming transfer window.
But according to The Sun – who cite reports from France Football – super agent Jorge Mendes has already offered the 6 foot 2 striker to Ligue 1 champions PSG as a potential replacement for Zlatan Ibrahimovic, who is set to leave Parc de Princes on a free transfer.

Chelsea’s valuation of Costa remains unknown but according to recent reports from The Metro, two unnamed clubs from the Chinese Super League have already tabled eye-watering £72.4million transfer bids for the fiery frontman, who is currently serving a three-match suspension.
Meanwhile, Football Insider claim Liverpool have joined Southampton in the race to sign Celtic left-back Kieran Tierney during the summer transfer window, following an impressive season at Parkhead that saw him pick up a debut cap for Scotland last month.
Indeed, finding an alternative to struggling No.3 Alberto Moreno has become one of the major transfer talking points surrounding the Mersey outfit in recent weeks and Football Insider claim five are on the club’s radar; Tierney, Leicester’s Ben Chilwell, Cologne’s Jonas Hector, PSV’s Jetro Willems and Lorient’s Raphael Guerreiro.
Manager Ronny Delia is desperate to keep hold of the promising 18-year-old but Liverpool are ready to prize him away from Celtic Park with a summer transfer bid somewhere between the £5million and £10million mark. Tierney has also been linked with a ‘lucrative’ move to Southampton in recent weeks.
