Chelsea encouraged as Real Madrid decide to sell Morata
Posted Friday, January 13, 2017 by Tribalfootball.com
Alvaro Morata is fast being squeezed out of Real Madrid.
The striker only returned to Real last summer from Juventus, with Real president Florentino Perez driving the deal.
However, Don Balon says Real coach Zinedine Zidane has already decided Morata is no first-choice.
Zidane has plans to field Ronaldo as a centre-forward in the coming year, with either Morata or Karim Benzema his back up. And given the coach's relationship with Benzema, Morata is likely to be the odd man out.
The news will be welcomed by Chelsea boss Antonio Conte, who tried to sign Morata only in August.
