Atletico Madrid keen on signing Alvaro Morata

Atletico Madrid are the latest club to express an interest in Chelsea striker Alvaro Morata, reports suggest.

The forward, who was left out of Spain's World Cup squad, could walk away from Stamford Bridge this summer despite moving there only a year ago.

The 25-year-old has failed to fire in England and bagged just three goals since the turn of the year.

Morata's old club Juventus are interested in him and, according to Tuttosport, so are Atletico Madrid.

The Spanish club are looking at a number of forwards as they fear Antoine Griezmann could be off.

Griezmann is wanted by both Barcelona and Manchester United, with his asking price set at around £90m.

Atletico believe Morata could be the perfect replacement for Griezmann, despite the fact he previously played for Real Madrid.
