Real Madrid legend Hugo Sanchez hopes they can keep hold of Alvaro Morata.

The striker is being linked with Chelsea this week after a move to Manchester United fell through.

Sanchez told Radio Marca: "To sell Morata is a luxury that I hope is not necessary.

"It is clear that he prefers to be playing than warming the bench, and especially given that next year there is a World Cup, where he wants to start for the Spanish national side."
