According to Spanish outlet Diario Gol, Chelsea have made an offer of £34 million for Real Madrid forward Alvaro Morata as they look to bolster their squad ahead of a likely return to the Champions League.
What’s the word?
The Blues are flying at the moment and are looking pretty nailed on to win the Premier League title this season.
Indeed, a Champions League campaign next season looks set to happen, too, and Antonio Conte and his men will be keen to make a decent impact in that competition.
You do feel, though, that they need extra options in attack at the moment, with only Diego Costa as their reliable source of goals. Morata, then, looks like a logical move, and the Spanish forward could be up for a move himself.
He’s found it hard to keep a spot in the Real Madrid side under Zinedine Zidane and if a side like Chelsea come calling – given their evident need for a forward – it could be on the cards
The right move?
It really does depend on which Morata turns up at Stamford Bridge but you’d think he would do a decent job.
He’s certainly talented when he gets a run in the team and when he was at Juventus he enjoyed his best days playing regularly and contributing well to their attacking play.
He can switch off, though – and particularly has done at Madrid at times – but that could be attributed to the fact he’s never really had an idea of whether he’s staying in the side for long or not.
All things considered, then, at £34 million it’s just about a risk worth taking for the men from west London.
