Morata wrong to join Atletico & should never have left Real – Schuster

Alvaro Morata would be wrong to leave Chelsea for Atletico Madrid, according to former midfielder Bernd Schuster.

Striker Morata is, as revealed by Goal, expected to depart Stamford Bridge before the transfer window closes after the Premier League club brought in Gonzalo Higuain on loan from Juventus.

Chelsea boss Maurizio Sarri confirmed this week that Morata informed the club last month that he wanted to leave, just 18 months on from his £60 million ($78m) arrival from Real Madrid.
