Chelsea have made a bid for Real Madrid striker Alvaro Morata.

Diariogol says the Blues have gone in early for the Spaniard with Antonio Conte looking to strengthen his squad in the summer.

Chelsea have bid £34million for Morata.

But Real president Florentino Perez will make the Blues pay up for the in-form Spanish international.

Morata has struggled to get any first-team opportunities under Zinedine Zidane with Karim Benzema preferred up top.

But the Blues could use Thibaut Courtois in order to get their man. The Belgian keeper has been linked with a move to the Bernabeu but Blues chiefs will demand Morata joins them if any deal is done.
