Alvaro Morata to join Atletico Madrid in permanent move from Chelsea
Written by News on 06/07/2019
Alvaro Morata will join Atletico Madrid on a permanent deal from Chelsea at the end of his current loan spell with the Spanish club.
The striker will remain on loan at the Wanda Metropolitano for the 2019-20 season before signing permanently on July 1, 2020.
Morata scored six goals in 17 games last season while on loan in the Spanish capital and Atletico have now agreed a permanent deal for the former Real Madrid striker.
Morata struggled to adapt to life in the Premier League after joining Chelsea in 2017 and the Spain international leaves Stamford Bridge having scored 24 goals in 72 appearances for the Blues.
“We would like to thank Alvaro for his contribution and wish him the best of luck for the future,” read a statement on Chelsea’s website.
