But Costa's future at Chelsea still remains bleak after he publicly revealed what Conte said to him over text.

And according to the Daily Mail, the Premier League champions are in negotiations with Caballero about a summer move to Stamford Bridge. 19:00 Atletico Madrid president Enrique Cerezo has hinted about a possible move for Diego Costa in January. Atletico are unable to sign anyone this summer due to a transfer ban, but that hasn't stopped speculation over Costa rejoining the La Liga side from Chelsea. Costa sensationally admitted last week that Antonio Conte no longer considers him part of his plans at Chelsea. And Cerezo has insisted the Spanish striker holds the cards when it comes to where he wants to move. “He is the one that has to say and decide,” Cerezo said. 18:00 Former Chelsea goalkeeper Asmir Begovic has urged John Terry to join him at Bournemouth this summer. “If he fancies Bournemouth it would be great to have him there,” Begovic said of his former Stamford Bridge team-mate. “He's a great player and a great guy as well, so from that point of view it would be really, really good. “He's obviously the best defender ever in the Premier League.

I am focusing on this tournament (the European Under-21 Championships) so the discussions will happen after,” Abraham said. Asked where he expected to end up, he said: “I’m not too sure. Hopefully it will be in the Premier League. “After this season I need to take myself to the next level. That’s the type of person I am, I always want to do better. I always want to do more. So going into the new season my aim will be to top this one.”

"If you look at Chelsea over the last x amount of years, you've had the Drog," he said on Sky Sports. "They will never find another Drogba, he was the best. "Then they had Costa and now Lukaku just is a perfect fit. "If Costa was to go I think he would be the perfect fit to come into Chelsea." 14.00: Chelsea defender Fikayo Tomori has reportedly been scouted by Borussia Dortmund and Paris Saint-Germain. Tomori has just returned from South Korea following England's Under-20 World Cup triumph where he starred for Paul Simpson's side.

The French outfit are fighting hard to not let their talented squad be stripped, with new Manchester City man Bernardo Silva already gone. Midfielder Bakayoko is edging closer to joining Chelsea, and a £40million deal could be finalised by the end of next week. As a result, that is set to cost Arsenal the chance of adding £30m winger Lemar to their ranks this summer as Monaco have no reason to sell, according to the Mirror. The club are backed well financially, and Lemar still has three years left to run on his contract. With his price-tag not expected to drop in the coming 12 months, the Gunners may be forced to wait with Chelsea and City having swooped at Monaco first. 09:00: Chelsea are keen on a deal for Ajax wonderkid Jairo Riedewald. The 20-year-old centre-back impressed this season and Antonio Conte is interested.

Chelsea are among the clubs keen on his services but face competition from Barcelona and Real Madrid. And Donato Di Campli says he is looking for his next project. “It’s very complicated [to leave], but we have expressed our ideas to PSG,” he told Sky Italia. “We’re not talking about Barcelona or other clubs, it’s about projects. “I think I represent a champion and clearly I have questions. To be a champion you have to win. “If PSG don’t want to sell him, despite offers from all over Europe, then we’d have to examine our consciences in Italy.” 04:00: Chelsea are confident of signing Monaco star Tiemoue Bakayoko by the end of this week, according to reports. The France international has been heavily linked with a move to Stamford Bridge as Antonio Conte looks to bolster his ranks this summer.

The report adds Chelsea will pay Monaco £40m for his services. 02:00: Chelsea are in pole position to sign Paris Saint-Germain midfielder Marco Verratti, according to reports.

However, The Daily Mirror claim Conte will renew his interest in Verratti as he bids to bolster his ranks ahead of next season. Conte worked with Verratti during his time at manager of the Italian national team, so is hoping this relationship with him will help him secure his signature.

Monday 12 June 19:55: Chelsea’s interest in James Rodriguez may not be as clear cut as it was first supposed. It was thought the Blues were in for Rodriguez as manager Antonio Conte seeks attacking recruits. But the London Evening Standard claim they will not meet Real Madrid’s £70m asking price.

But the San Siro club may now look to strengthen other areas of the squad, with Silva joining Carlos Bacca up front in Milan. 13:00: Diego Costa will not consider a move to China - with his international career of greater importance than the riches on offer. Chelsea's star striker is set to leave Stamford Bridge this summer after his shock revelation about Antonio Conte's message last week. The 28-yea-old, though, has closed the door on a potential mega-money switch to China. The Spain international wants to ensure he has the chance to lead the line at the 2018 World Cup in Russia. "I rule out China, I have to think about my future,” Costa said. “I have to think about the World Cup. “If I fight and I do things well I'll have every chance of going to the World Cup. I cannot go to China."

Spanish newspaper AS recently claimed that Antonio Conte told Fabregas that he was free to leave Stamford Bridge.

Begovic told Sky Sports: “I'm really excited about the new challenge.

Costa claimed last week that Chelsea boss Antonio Conte had informed him in a text message that he was not part of the Italian's plans going forward at Stamford Bridge. He told the Spanish media after scoring in Spain's 2-1 World Cup qualifying win over Macedonia: "Things don't work like that. The fight for a place has to be fair. "When there is a fair fight you stay and fight but if there isn't then you have to go."
