Juventus, Chelsea, Dortmund are top options for unsettled Alvaro Morata

Reports in Spain suggest that Alvaro Morata's return to Real Madrid last year has not gone at all as he had hoped, and that the Spain international wants to leave the Bernabeu next summer unless something big changes between now and then.

Well-connected Spanish radio show El Larguero claimed on Thursday night Morata was promised significant playing time after his €30 million move back from Juventus and now feels "tricked" by coach Zinedine Zidane. Despite scoring a goal every 126 minutes on the pitch in all competitions this season, he remains firmly behind Karim Benzema in the pecking order while Cristiano Ronaldo's conversion into a number nine has also limited his chances of starting regularly.
