Chelsea, Real Madrid in advanced negotiations for Morata

Real Madrid striker, Alvaro Morata, is close to completing a €80million move to Chelsea.

Spanish publication, Marca, reports that both clubs are in “advanced negotiations” over the player’s transfer.

Morata had previously been a target for Manchester United, but the arrival of Romelu Lukaku at Old Trafford, saw him travel with Madrid for pre-season training in the US.

Although AC Milan have also shown an interest, the 24-year-old now appears poised to join the Premier League champions.

It is believed the deal will be wrapped up by next week, to end manager Antonio Conte’s search for a top-class striker
