According to reports from Spain, Costa has rejected a £43,000-a-week contract to sign for the Super Lig side.

It is understood Trabzonspor offered the former Chelsea forward a three-year deal but the wages are three times behind what he takes-home at Atletico.

Galatasaray and Besiktas are said to be interested in the controversial striker as well as having another option in Qatar.

Marseille manager Andre Villas-Boas claims he got a call that Costa would love to join the Ligue 1 side but the former Blues boss downplayed a move for the Spaniard.

Villas-Boas the free agent's Atletico salary to have been significantly more than what was reported by Spanish press.

The ex-Spurs boss said:

"First of all, Diego Costa earns 16 million [euros] (£14.3m) gross every year, it's the first thing that we should recognise.

“I received a WhatsApp message from an unknown number telling me that Diego Costa wanted to come to OM. I thought it was a joke.”

Costa has been previously linked with a move to Premier League side Wolves after Raul Jimenez fractured his skull suffered month.
