Chelsea close in on £75m Real Madrid forward Alvaro Morata

The Blues have been linked with a move for the Real Madrid striker all summer, but were believed to have been priced out of the deal.Los Blancos had been demanding £80MILLION for the 24-year-old and Chelsea had wanted to pay no more than £70m.But with Real Madrid president Florentino Perez turning his attentions back to Kylian Mbappe, the prodigious Monaco teenager, he will likely need to raise funds.
The report claims that Real will make a ‘super offer’ for the French star – with previous reports stating he could cost more than £120m to prise from the Ligue 1 champions.With the Brazilian costing around £26m, that leaves Morata expected to cost Chelsea around £62m.
