Chelsea have confirmed Alvaro Morata will leave the club for Atletico Madrid on a permanent basis - but not until July 1, 2020.
Morata, who scored 24 goals in 72 appearances during his time at the Blues, spent the second half of the season on loan at the Wanda Metropolitano after an 18-month loan deal was agreed between the two clubs.
The Blues have now confirmed that once that deal has expired, Morata will move to Madrid on a permanent basis - having scored six goals in 15 appearances for Los Rojiblancos so far.
Morata has found regular first team football hard to come by since the arrival of Frenchman Olivier Giroud.
