Sarri open to Alvaro Morata sale

Chelsea manager open to Alvaro Morata exit

29 July 2018 - 14:16

Chelsea manager Maurizio Sarri has refused to rule out Alvaro Morata's exit from Stamford Bridge before next month's transfer deadline.

  • Chelsea tipped to sell £30m striker this summer
  • Andoni Iraola attracted to Chelsea project?
  • The Spain international had an average debut season with the Blues with just 15 goals across all competitions and he has since been regularly tipped for a summer exit.

    Amidst this, Sarri has been questioned regarding Morata's future where he has admitted that he would only keep players, who are committed to the Blues.

    "Morata? We want to keep our best players but not at all costs. We want to keep our top players but only if they want to be here. We want to keep improving," he told Sky Sports News.

    Morata has been linked with a possible Serie A return with AC Milan this summer but so far, the Rossoneri have yet to strike a transfer agreement with the Blues.

    Preferably, the San Siro outfit are said to favour a loan deal or a cut-price move for the marksman but the Blues are reluctant to sell unless they recoup the entire £58m paid to Los Blancos last summer.
