Pundit says Chelsea striker has agreed to join Atletico Madrid

Spanish football pundit Guillem Balague says Chelsea striker Alvaro Morata has reached a personal agreement to join Atletico Madrid.

Balague told the BBC that the deal is subject the the Premier League club signing a replacement and Atletico selling a striker.

“It seems to be a matter of finding a buyer for (Nikola) Kalinic,” he said. “Everything else seems to be in place for Morata to abandon what feels like a nightmare.”

Morata has failed to impress at Stamford Bridge since joining the club from Real Madrid back in 2017.
