Atletico Madrid Baulk at Alvaro Morata Loan Clause With Chelsea Striker's Madrid Future Uncertain

Atletico Madrid look set to terminate Alvaro Morata's loan deal early, after it surfaced that they will have to pay Chelsea an added fee to continue the 18-month-deal into next season.

Morata joined the Spanish outfit in January after failing to nail down a starting place in west London, scoring just 24 times in his 72 appearances for the club since signing from Real Madrid for £60m two years ago.

With Morata only six months into his loan, it seems Atletico boss Diego Simeone is keen to end the deal early, after AS claimed that Chelsea would demand a £15m fee for the Spaniard to stay in the capital until the end of next season.
