Alvaro Morata has been linked with a move to the English premier league this summer, and has emerged as a target for both Chelsea and Manchester United.
In a new development, it is understood that Chelsea are growing in confidence that they can snatch the player from Manchester United’s grip due to Antonio Conte’s influence.
Reports from Spain claims Jose Mourinho had been speaking to Morata on phone occasionally to convince him that he will be the main man at Old Trafford.
There were widespread speculations that the Spain international have agreed on personal terms with Jose Mourinho’s side last week, but the Old Trafford club are yet to agree on a fee with his club.
And according to the Mirror, due to the delay, premier league champions Chelsea have squeezed themselves in at the last-minute and could be the one to get the Spaniard’s signature due to the player’s desire in working under Antonio Conte.
Man United have recently become the main front in Cristiano Ronaldo’s latest transfer incident, with the talented superstar thought to favour a return to the Premier League over any other move.
Ronaldo’s saga has reportedly contributed to Man United’s delay in concluding a deal for Alvaro. It was said that the Old Trafford club are now making a re-think over their summer plans.
