Chelsea are showing little appetite at the moment to allow Alvaro Morata to join Juventus in the ongoing summer transfer window.

Morata joined Chelsea last summer from Real Madrid for a club record fee, but his first season in England was difficult and the Spaniard is angling towards a move back to Italy.




The striker and his agent were spotted in Milan with Juventus sporting director Fabio Paratici and a move back to the Italian champions for Morata has been in the works for a while.

The Bianconeri have proposed to sign the striker on an initial two-year loan deal, with an obligatory purchase option, but for the moment there is little indication that a transfer is set to take place.
 


According to Italian broadcaster Rai Sport, Chelsea have given negative signals towards a proposed move for Morata to Juventus in the ongoing summer transfer window.
