TRANSFER NEWS DONE DEAL!!!!  CHELSEA SIGNS SENSATIONAL MORATA…



 
CHRISTIAN ROWLAND reporting live for ODOGWU MEDIA...
Chelsea are set to clinch the club record signing of striker Alvaro Morata after reaching an agreement with Real Madrid.

Sources in Madrid have told Telegraph Sport that a deal to take Morata to Stamford Bridge is “done” with personal terms now to be discussed.

Chelsea paid £75million to land Morata, who emerged as the club’s top choice after missing out on Romelu Lukaku to Manchester United.

That will set a new club record transfer for Chelsea, whose current highest outgoing fee is the £50m they paid for Fernando Torres in 2011.

Chelsea had been leaving their options open following their failure to land Lukaku and held talks with a number of clubs and agents regarding Morata, Andrea Belotti and Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang.

But the Premier League champions made a breakthrough in negotiations with Real over Morata on Wednesday and hope to conclude a deal swiftly.

Morata travelled with Real for their US tour, but is now expected to break away from that to discuss personal terms with Chelsea.

The 24-year-old has been keen on the prospect of working with Conte at Chelsea since the Blues tried to sign him last summer.

Morata scored 15 La Liga goals for Real last season, but wants to move to become the number one striker after acting as back-up to Cristiano Ronaldo and Gareth Bale.

He had agreed to join United, but they instead hijacked Chelsea’s interest in Lukaku which left Morata in limbo.

The arrival of Morata will be welcomed by several members of the Chelsea squad, who have become concerned at the precarious situation the club find themselves in.

Chelsea announced that head coach Conte had been rewarded for his fine first season with a pay rise, which underlined the commitment that the Italian will start this campaign in charge.

But the absence of any extension means there remains no long-term guarantees over Conte’s future, which has prompted speculation among players that he might only be in charge for a further 12 months at most.

There was also some dismay that Chelsea left for their pre-season tour of China and Singapore without any significant new signings in the squad and Diego Costa and Nemanja Matic left behind.

Defender Antonio Rudiger could meet up with the Chelsea squad in Singapore after his holiday, but midfielder Tiemoue Bakayoko will continue his recovery from injury at the club’s Cobham training ground.

Clinching the signature of Morata will certainly improve the mood within the squad and among Chelsea’s fans.

With Real right-back Danilo, who Conte had been keen to sign, set to move to Manchester City, Chelsea will try again to reach an agreement with Juventus over left-back Alex Sandro.

Negotiations have been slow regarding Sandro, despite Chelsea indicating a willingness to pay £60m for the Brazilian.

Italian sources have claimed the sale of Leonardo Bonucci means Juve will not sell Sandro and will instead offer him a new contract, but that has not yet put off Conte and Chelsea.

Juve’s interest in midfielder Nemanja Matic adds another dimension to Chelsea’s pursuit of Sandro.
