Alvaro Morata
Alvaro Morata is more of a new transfer target for the Blues.
The Real Madrid attacker has been heavily linked with a move to Man United over the summer, with the former Juventus man being extremely close to completing a move to Old Trafford on several occasions.
However, in the end, Jose Mourinho plumped to sign Romelu Lukaku instead and with a deal for the Belgian now complete, the Red Devils are no longer on the lookout for a new target man.
Chelsea then are able to pursue him without much competition from other teams in England. The Blues have had him on their radar for a while but no concrete moves or bids have been made for his services yet.
This could all change soon though, with AC Milan set to force Chelsea’s hand. The Italian side have themselves decided that Morata would be a good addition to their side and have launched a bid to bring him to the club.
Chelsea risk losing out on yet another of their striking targets if they don’t also launch a bid for the Spaniard and so could launch their own move soon.
Morata would bring pace and goals to a Blues side that is in desperate need of a new striker with Costa not part of the plans at the club and so they could match Milan’s bid in an attempt to get him before them.
