Atletico beat Getafe 2-0 today, though fans could hear singing anti-Morata songs.
Supporters made it clear that they did not want to sign the former Real Madrid striker, but had begged the manager, Diego Simeone, to play Borja Garces, 19-year-old.
Fans of Atletico chanted: "Less Morata, more Borja Garces."
It is not clear if Atletico will oppose the arrival of Morata because of his five years spent with Real, his rival in Madrid.

However, Morata is a former player of Atletico, pbading from 2007 to 2009 with the Wanda Metropolitano club.
The game time of the attackers at Atletico was reduced after two years, since he was settling in Getafe for a year before joining Real Madrid.
Morata should borrow alongside Simone, which will limit the play time of Garces. The 19-year-old will only participate in one Liga appearance this season.
In September, Garces made his league debut against SD Eibar. After his replacement, he equalized.
Chelsea boss Maurizio Sarri revealed that Morata had announced his intention to leave Stamford Bridge in December.

Sarri said: "Morata is potentially a very good player.He has the features to play in my team, but a month ago he said that he wanted to play for another team
"It was very difficult for him to give us 100% because of his mental situation.
"It's very appropriate for my football, but the situation changed last month, so we had to change."
