Sevilla chief Caparros explains ending talks for Chelsea striker Morata

Sevilla sports chief Joaquin Caparros admits their move for Chelsea striker Alvaro Morata is off.

Caparros has confirmed the terms involved for the former Real Madrid centre-forward are just too rich for them.

After signing Munir El Haddadi from Barcelona, Caparros said: "We got in touch with Morata and Chelsea, but it all ended up there.

"To speak of figures, it was enough to understand that the operation was impossible for us."

Morata is now the subject of talks with Atletico Madrid.
