Atletico Madrid are in cutting edge converses with sign Chelsea striker Alvaro Morata, as per Sky sources.
Chelsea would incline toward a perpetual arrangement, with the club anxious to recover however much of their speculation back as could reasonably be expected, having marked Morata for a club-record £70m from Real Madrid under two years prior. They esteem him at £45m.

The Spain international was not even on the substitutes' bench for Chelsea's 2-1 win over Newcastle on Saturday and was pictured in Madrid on Monday.
