Atletico Madrid is in talks to engage Alvaro Morata, the Chelsea striker, according to Sky sources.
Chelsea would prefer a permanent agreement, the club wishing to recover as much as possible after signing a contract with Morata for a club record of 70 million pounds of Real Madrid less than two years ago. They value it at £ 45m.

Morata wants to return to Madrid, but the deal depends on Chelsea's ability to replace another. It is understood that Chelsea is more and more confident to sign a loan with Gonzalo Higuain, with a call option.
The Spanish international was not even on the substitutes' bench for Chelsea's 2-1 win over Newcastle on Saturday and was photographed in Madrid on Monday.

He was tied to a Stamford Bridge outing after losing his spot as a first-choice striker for Chelsea, with Sarri preferring to use Eden Hazard as the main point of reference in attack.
Morata has been linked to Sevilla and Barcelona in recent weeks, but Atletico – the club where he began his youth career – now looks like a favorite for his signature.
