Chelsea have warned Atletico Madrid they will have to send Alvaro Morata back to Stamford Bridge this summer if the Spanish giants don't sign the striker on a permanent deal.
Atletico are lining up a bid for Morata, who spent six months on loan at Wanda Metropolitano last season. The Spain international joined in January on an 18 month loan deal, scoring six times in 13 league starts as Atletico finished runners up behind Barcelona.
The bid is being prepared, however - as reported by the Telegraph - because Chelsea are threatening to trigger a recall clause in the player's contract, which would mean another season in London for the former Juventus man.
