AC Milan have held initial talks over an ambitious move for Chelsea striker Alvaro Morata, according to Dialy Mail.
The 25-year-old has just missed out on a World Cup place after being omitted from Spain’s squad and has endured a frustrating debut season in the Premier League under Antonio Conte.
Despite showing glimpses of his quality, Morata was overlooked in the latter stages of the season and saw Olivier Giroud start the FA Cup final.
Juventus have an interest in taking him back should Chelsea be willing to sell, however, AC Milan have also made tentative moves to check on his availability and the figures Chelsea would want.
The Stamford Bridge club are discussing whether to change manager Conte and that could yet have a bearing on Morata’s future.
They are keen on Robert Lewandowski at Bayern Munich but that will prove a difficult and expensive transfer and also want Christian Pulisic from Borussia Dortmund.
Chelsea are also braced for offers on Eden Hazard, Thibaut Courtois and Willian with Real Madrid, Paris St Germain and Manchester United all hovering.
Milan are facing a similar summer of flux with several players expected to leave including Wolves target Andre Silva, Nikola Kalinic and Gianluigi Donnarumma.
