Chelsea have confirmed the signing of Alvaro Morata from Real Madrid
on a fee of £60m. The 24 year old joins the Stamford Bridge outfit
after two spells at the Spanish capital club.
He becomes Chelsea's four signing of the summer after the signing of
Antonio Rudiger, Babayoko and Willy Caballero.
The club's technical director Micheal Emenalo had this to say about him.
"Alvaro has proven class at the highest level and his quality will be
a huge asset,"
Early today while speaking in Beijing, where the club are on tour,
manager, Antonio Conte described him as a fantastic striker with
experience of playing at the highest level.
Prior to his signing, he gave an indication of why he opted to join
Chelsea when he spoke to sections of the Spanish media.
"I'm going to the team managed by the coach who has placed the most
faith in me, and that's great for me," he said.
He came through the Real Madrid youth academy. And made his debut for
the club at the age of 18 when they were managed by Jose Mourinho in
2010. He subsequently joined Juventus in 2014 after failing to secure
a regular first team place in the team. After two years in Turin, Real
Madrid exercised a buy back clause which brought him back to the club
in 2016.
He scored 20 goals in 48 appearances in his second spell back at the
club. But he featured sparingly last season, and subsequently decided
to leave the club for good. And he has now ended up in West London at
the home of the Premier League champions.
