Chelsea’s Alvaro Morata In Madrid as Atletico Deal Nears
Atletico de Madrid have an interest in Chelsea striker Alvaro Morata who is eager to secure a return to Spain.
Additionally, Morata was in Madrid this weekend as he is looking to negotiate a move away from Stamford Bridge.
The 26-year-old is looking for a way out of west London after 18 testing months. Additionally, Morata has scored 24 goals in his time at the Blues. Chelsea boss Maurizio Sarri did not include him in the squad for Saturday’s 2-1 win over Newcastle.
Morata faced criticism for openly discussing his struggles with adapting to the Premier League. However, he has made it known that he would welcome a return to the more familiar surroundings of his homeland.
Atletico de Madrid are prepared to offer Morata a route out of Chelsea. However, there are several obstacles which need to be overcome in order for a deal to be done.
Meanwhile, Sevilla, with whom Morata’s agent held talks last week, have pulled out of a dea. The Liga outfit are unable to afford to bring the former Real Madrid man to the Sanchez Pizjuan.
