Chelsea striker Alvaro Morata has reportedly reached an agreement with Juventus over a summer deal.
According to claims from Rai Sport in Italy, as cited by Calciomercato, the Spanish international has already agreed to a deal in principle with his former club.
Morata has endured a difficult first season in England. After an impressive start to the season, he has seen his form tail off, with his place in Antonio Conte’s starting line-up certainly not guaranteed.
The ex-Real Madrid star has been linked with a move to Juventus for some time now and if Rai Sport are to be believed, negotiations between the two parties have accelerated and concluded in recent times.
However, the report indicates that a move for the Blues’ club-record signing is still far from complete, with Juventus and Chelsea yet to agree on terms.
The Serie A champions are understood to be in favour of re-signing Morata on a two-year loan deal with an eventual obligation to buy. Although, whether this is an acceptable compromise for Chelsea remains to be seen.
