Chelsea striker Àlvaro Morata has suggested that he could be open to a move back to Real Madrid according to the Daily Mail.
He joined Chelsea from the Spanish giants last summer in a club record deal worth around £70.6 million but has struggled to settle in at the club.
He hasn’t featured for the side since January 13th after suffering a back injury.
Despite having four years on his current deal with the Blues’, the striker hasn’t ruled out a third return to his hometown club.
The Spanish striker has also been ruled out of West Brom’s visit to the Bridge on Monday night, where the champions will look to get back on track after a run of poor performances.
Morata has scored 10 Premier League goals this season but hasn’t scored since Boxing Day, prompting Antonio Conte to seek further options in Olivier Giroud last month.
On top football chat show Espacio Reservado, journalist Julio Maldonado asked the Spain international: ‘If tomorrow they call you from Madrid, do you go straight back or would you have to think about it?’
Talking on Espacio Reservado, a top football chat show in Spain, Morata responded when asked if he would rejoin Real Madrid if they called tomorrow, saying;
I have to respect Chelsea who have made a great effort for me. And I’m very happy here. But Madrid is always Madrid.
Conte also spoke about the players current availability in his press conference, saying;
He has this problem, we are trying to find a solution to solve the pain in his back.
You ask me how long he is out, maybe he needs one day, one month, or is out for the season, I don’t know. I am a bit worried as we know the importance of the player.
