According to the Spanish media outlets, Chelsea head coach Antonio Conte has asked the Blues hierarchy to ‘make an effort’ to sign Real Madrid forward Alvaro Morata this summer, as the Italian manager is desperately chasing for the top-class replacements for Diego Costa.
The reports from Sport claim that the 24-year-old star is unhappy at the Santiago Bernabeu having started just 10 matches in all competitions for Zinedine Zidane’s side this term.

The Spain international is open to returning to Serie A giants Juventus but a move back to Italy is unfeasible due to the transfer fee.
Antonio Conte reportedly remains desperate to bring his favourite striker to Stamford Bridge at the end of the season and has already spoken to the Chelsea front office about making the transfer deal happen.
As per the same sources, Chelsea have to meet the striker’s £61.5 million valuation to bring him in west London.
Back in September, Morata confirmed that Antonio Conte failed to sign him for Chelsea during last summer’s transfer window.
Morata told SportBild: ‘Chelsea showed the most interest. Antonio Conte had already signed me for Juventus. And it was a very good offer this time. I would have been the most expensive Spanish player ever.’
