Diego Costa is willing to make his peace with Chelsea and manager Antonio Conte.
The Sun says, however, the unsettled striker has told pals he will not sign a new deal.
Costa is under contract until 2019 and Chelsea have already offered a big pay rise on his £150,000-a-week wages in return for a long-term commitment.
But the lure of £30million a year from Chinese Super League club Tianjin Quanjian plus a bust-up with a Blues fitness coach has convinced Costa his future lies elsewhere.
Boss Antonio Conte will hold talks with his sulking star later this week to try to put last week's flashpoint behind them.
But even if successful, it will only delay his inevitable departure in the summer.
