Real Madrid striker Alvaro Morata wants to leave due to a difficult relationship with coach Zinedine Zidane, it has been claimed.

Morata is ready to quit Real for the Premier League, where Manchester United and Chelsea are in contact.

Diario Gol says the striker has made it clear to Real president Florentino Perez his intentions and also - through intermediaries - made it clear that it is Zizou why he feels the need to leave.

And Morata isn't alone, with Marcos Asensio and Lucas Vazquez also frustrated over Zidane's selection policy.

The trio believe the Frenchman always favours seniors stars like Karim Benzema and Gareth Bale, no matter their form.

Morata also believes with Cristiano Ronaldo seeing his future as a No9, he'll never be offered the chance to be a first-choice with the current coach.
