Premier
League winners Chelsea are planning to launch an offer for Real Madrid striker
Alvaro Morata, according to SkySports.
Morata
has been in link with several Premier League sides including Arsenal and
Manchester United but both the sides have now taken a step back. Man United have signed Romelu Lukaku from Everton and Arsenal are now keeping
tabs on other players.
Chelsea
striker Diego Costa is likely to leave the club this summer, boss Antonio Conte
has previously said that he can leave the club.
Costa
who netted 20 goals last term is yet to get an offer from any club. His former
side Atletico Madrid are reportedly keeping tabs on his situation, but due to
transfer ban they might not sign him in this transfer window.
Real Madrid boss Zinedine Zidane is keen to keep Morata at the club despite the
Real officials are discussing the possible £70million deal for the Spaniard.
The
Spanish striker is currently not happy at Santiago Bernabue due to lack of
playing time, he is likely to prefer a move to Premier League.
The
24-year-old scored 15 goals in 26 La Liga appearances for Real but started only
14 games.
