Revealed! WHEN Alvaro Morata Demanded Chelsea Exit

The Spaniard has been out of sorts since his move to Chelsea last summer.

He struggled for form under Antonio Conte but with Maurizio Sarri coming in, the club hoped it would kickstart his Stamford Bridge career.

However, that has failed to come to light with the former Real Madrid striker scoring just six goals in the Premier League this season.

Gonzalo Higuain has arrived at Chelsea on loan until the end of the season, a disciple of Sarri’s favoured style of football.

It paves the way for Morata to move back to Madrid, this time in the colours of his former side’s arch-rivals Atletico.


The move has yet to be complete but Sarri has all but confirmed the move after admitting that the 26-year-old told him he wanted to leave last month.

Sarri said: “I think that Morata is a very good player. I think that Morata has the characteristics for playing in my team.

“But Morata, one month ago, said he wanted to play in another team. So it was really very difficult for him to give us the 100 per cent for his mental situation.

“But I think that Morata is potentially a very important player. From the physical and technical point of view, he is a very good player and suitable for my football.

“The situation changed in the last month. So we needed to change. I don’t know [about the transfer market].

“As you know very well, I don’t want to follow the market day by day. I don’t know the actual situation.

“Morata told me 10 days ago that there was an opportunity in Spain, but I don’t know where.

“We have some problems in scoring. Higuain usually is able to score 25 or 30 goals every season.

“But, as I told you before, in the market in January it’s very difficult to secure a very important striker.

“Gonzalo was in a situation that we could try to buy him, and so we decided to try for Higuain.”
