Chelsea ready to offer Real Madrid €80million for Morata

Chelsea are set to table a €80million bid for Real Madrid striker, Alvaro Morata, after missing out on Romelu Lukaku. Spanish outfit, AS, reports that Antonio Conte has turned his search for a new frontman to Spain, after losing out to Manchester United on his number one target this summer.

Morata himself had seemingly been on course to United, with Chelsea favourites to sign Lukaku, but the situation has now been turned on its head.

The Spain striker’s representatives have said he will “keep fighting”. “We must keep fighting, as there’s no alternative,” is the comment coming from Morata’s camp, according to Spanish publication, Marca. Morata had previously hinted he would love to work with Blues boss, Antonio Conte, at some point in his career.
