Chelsea look to be disappointed in pursuit of Costa

Shakhtar Donetsk have given a clear indication that Douglas Costa won't be joining Chelsea unless the price is right. 'The Ukrainian club's CEO Sergey Palkin told Ukraine's Sport Express: "Yes, it is true that Douglas Costa said in an interview that he would like to try his skills at Chelsea.

'This is good, but first the clubs need to reach an agreement. After this happens, Costa can go and talk to the media about his desire to play for Chelsea.

"Asking won't do anything. He has a contract that he is required to fulfil. If we reach an agreement with Chelsea - he's going to London. If not, he's staying with Shakhtar."
