Spanish newspaper Marca are reporting on Wednesday afternoon that Chelsea and Real Madrid have reached an agreement for the transfer of Alvaro Morata. It’s explained that a deal has been agreed in the region of €80m, which has been enough to please Real Madrid. Morata is being allowed to leave despite the club having a role for him, the Spanish international wants more prominence and feels he’ll get it elsewhere.
Morata has proven his worth in both La Liga and Serie A. In La Liga, during two spells at Real Madrid, the 24-year-old has made 63 appearances, scoring 25 times and assisting six. He has also made 63 appearances in Serie A for Juventus in-between his two spells at Real Madrid, he scored 15 and assisted 13 for the Italian giants.
Overall in Morata’s career, he has scored 70 and assisted 36 in 206 appearances which is a very good return, so there is no surprise that Chelsea are spending big money on him.
Morata is eager to finally work under Conte having been signed by the Italian at Juventus just before he went off to manage Italy, never getting the chance to play under him.
Chelsea had also been working on a deal for fellow Real player Danilo, but their hopes have been dashed by Manchester City who have agreed a deal for the Brazilian.
