'I'll do everything in my power to stay at Atletico' - Morata not interested in Chelsea return

Alvaro Morata has insisted he does not want to be anywhere other than Atletico Madrid next season, resisting any return to Chelsea.

The striker endured an up and down career with Chelsea following his move from Real Madrid in the summer of 2017, with injuries contributing to struggles in form.

Morata fell out of favour this season under Maurizio Sarri and was sent on a year and a half loan to Atletico, with Gonzalo Higuain joining the Blues on loan from Juventus.

However, the Spain international rediscovered his scoring touch at the Wanda Metropolitano, finding the next six times in 15 La Liga appearances.
