Chelsea striker Morata contacted by Atletico Madrid - delivers €100M response

Chelsea striker Alvaro Morata has rejected an offer from Atletico Madrid.

Don Balon says Atletico have been in touch with Morata's agent about a move to the Wanda Metropolitano.

Atletico will be in the market for a forward this summer once Antoine Griezmann's release clause is activated.

And they were apparently interested in striking an early £88m (€100m) deal for Morata to replace the Frenchman.

But Morata has rebuffed Atletico's advances amid his difficult stint at Chelsea though.
