Alvaro Morata has been on the news for some time now as he was linked with a potential move to Arsenal, however reports suggest that Chelsea have also joined the race to sign the Juventus star.
Real Madrid are ready to exercise their £23.6m buy-back option on Juventus striker Morata and sell him at a profit.
However, despite his 25 goals in all competitions last season the Merseyside club struggled to perform, leading to speculation he may depart. The Belgium worldwide is valued at £65million by Everton, who are reluctant to let go of a player they see as integral to their plans.
It is understood the Belgium worldwide is desperate to play in the Champions League and his dad, Roger, reckons his son will leave Everton before Euro 2016 for around £65million.
Meanwhile, speculation continues to surround the future of Diego Costa, as the controversial striker is believed to be keen on a return to Spain and Atletico Madrid.
