"Chelsea Football Club and Real Madrid have agreed terms for the transfer of Alvaro Morata to Stamford Bridge," Chelsea said on their club website. Morata is expected to leave Madrid's training camp in the United States as soon as possible. British media reported last week that Chelsea had offered Morata a five-year contract at Stamford Bridge worth 150,000 pounds a week. Morata had previously been linked with a move to Manchester United, but their reported interest ended after the signing of Romelu Lukaku from Everton. "I feel indebted to him because he's the coach that most trusted in me, most wanted me, who made me feel I could perform at the highest level," Morata told the newspaper.
