Chelsea fail with huge €75m bid for Euro 2016 star

According to Spanish radio station Cadena SER, Chelsea have had a €75m bid for Spanish striker Alvaro Morata rejected by Real Madrid.

The 23-year-old striker, who scored three times for Spain in Euro 2016, was bought back to the Spanish capital for €30m only this summer from Juventus after spending two years in Serie A. However, reports claim that Real could be persuaded to part with the player once again, and so soon, if their valuation of €80m is met.

Cadena SER also claim that Chelsea have also had a €60m bid for Morata rejected this summer.
