Chelsea signed Alvaro Morata from Real Madrid for a record transfer fee of £60 million last summer, to fill the sizable boots of Diego Costa who left them to join his former club Atletico Madrid.

Despite a dazzling start to his Chelsea career with eight goals in his first seven games, the 25 year old has struggled to find his feet in the Premier League has been a frustrating figure. He also struggled with with mysterious back injury which kept him sidelined for a long period.

The Spain International has just scored 11 goals and assisted 6 times in 30 Premier League games for the Premier League giants.

The Spaniard has already been linked with a return to his former club Juventus ahead of the transfer window, where he enjoyed two successful years from 2014-2016. Reports suggest Serie A giants could make a bid for him this summer or look to take him on a loan.

According to Tuttosport Chelsea have given a green light to the idea of sending Morata on loan to Juventus. The Serie A giants are willing to take the striker on a two year loan deal.

After the loan deal, the Old Lady can sign Morata on a permanent basis and will pay 15 million euros for the loan deal and will shell out 45 million euros if they want to sign him on a permanent basis. The total fee will be 60 million euros. See all Chelsea players on loan.
