The Real Madrid striker was set to join Manchester United until Jose Mourinho turned his interest to Romelu Lukaku instead.

And according to Spanish outlet Diario Gol, Morata is considering a move to Chelsea.

They say he has an offer from the Blues which was made weeks ago.

However, Diario Gol add that the final decision will rest with Real club president Florentino Perez, who ultimately ended Morata's move to Old Trafford.

Antonio Conte bought Morata during his time at Juventus but didn't get to work with the striker as he took the Italy job in the same summer.

Starsport understands United have agreed a £75m fee with Everton for Belgium international Lukaku.

Lukaku's personal terms are also sorted and a deal could be announced by the end of the week before United jet off on their pre-season tour of America.

Reports claim the Red Devils have now ended their interest in Real star Morata after the clubs couldn't agree a fee.

The La Liga giants were playing hardball with Mourinho and the Special One looked elsewhere.
