Transfer Market Confirmed by Blues with fee to be around €80m

Alvaro Morata will soon leave Real Madrid's pre-season training camp in Los Angeles to fly back to Europe and confirm his move to Premier League club Chelsea.

As MARCA reported on Wednesday morning, the striker was faced with either the Blues or AC Milan in his search for first-team football and Antonio Conte's commitment to having him as Chelsea's star striker won the day.

Los Blancos have reached an agreement with the London club for a fee of around 80 million euros in exchange for Morata's services.

With both teams confirming the agreement on Wednesday evening, Chelsea state that personal terms are yet to be agreed with the deal also subject to a medical.

At that price, Morata stands to become the most expensive Spanish player in the history of the game, edging out Fernando Torres' own move to Chelsea back in 2011.

Of course, the English champions already boast five Spaniards in their squad at this moment in time, although that would drop down if Diego Costa leaves, with Morata thought to be his replacement.
