Alvaro Morata scored 11 goals in his first campaign in English football last seasonChelsea striker Alvaro Morata has reached a personal agreement to join Atletico Madrid, says Spanish football expert Guillem Balague. Balague said the deal is subject to Chelsea signing a replacement and Atletico selling a striker. Chelsea are reportedly close to signing Juventus striker Gonzalo Higuain, who is on loan at AC Milan. Morata, 26, joined Chelsea for a then club record £60m in July 2017 but has struggled this season. Balague said Morata reached an agreement with Sevilla but changed his mind after being contacted by Atletico, another La Liga side.
