Alvaro Morata to Atletico Madrid all but done

Alvaro Morata has undergone his medical ahead of his move to Atletico Madrid according to various reports. The Chelsea striker is set to join on loan until the end of the season with an option to make it permanent for around €50 million.

Talking about his move back to Madrid, he said, “I'm happy to be in Madrid. I've been waiting for many days. I'm super happy and I want everything to be finalised, to start and train with my colleagues. The people who have always been with me know how I feel today, how the last days have been.”

“It's normal for people to have their thoughts [about playing for Atletico after Real Madrid], I know what I can do. I started playing at Atletico. People who know where I come from, they know my history and what this means to me. The past is the past, I am proud of that,” added the striker.

Atletico Madrid fans, however, chanted “Menos Morata y mas Borja Garces” indicating that they want to see more of their youngster, 19-year-old Borja Garces and not Morata at the club.
