Chelsea signed Alvaro Morata from Real Madrid in 2017 and the striker struggled in his debut season with the Blues.
Italian website Calciomercato claims AC Milan were interested in taking the Spain international from the Champions League winners before he moved to west London club, but he turned down an opportunity to move to the San Siro last year.
It hasn’t stopped the Rossoneri from chasing the 26-year-old as it’s claimed the Serie A outfit were looking at the option of signing him before the start of the season.
Even the player ‘promised’ to join them in the summer, but the change of manager at Stamford Bridge convinced him to stay with the English side.
The FA Cup winners parted ways with Antonio Conte in July and replaced him with Maurizio Sarri, but things haven’t improved a lot for Morata.
The former Juventus man has six goals in 17 matches played in all competitions and the report mentions the frontman is ‘unhappy’ in London.
We believe it is unlikely that Sarri and Chelsea would part ways with Morata in January, but if his situation doesn’t improve, he could look for a new club next summer.
