Mendes offers Chelsea striker Diego Costa to Serie A duo

Chelsea striker Diego Costa is being offered to Serie A clubs.

Corriere dello Sport says Jorge Mendes, Costa's agent, has offered the 27-year-old to both Napoli and Inter Milan, with Romelu Lukaku's prospective arrival at Stamford Bridge likely to condemn his client to the bench.

The possibility of a switch to Italy comes in the wake of Kevin Gameiro's recent signing by Atlético Madrid, which closed the door on Costa returning to his old club.

Napoli are in the market for a replacement for Gonzalo Higuaín, while Inter could sign Costa should they lose skipper Mauro Icardi.
