The 24-year-old striker was sold by Madrid this summer to Antonio Conte’s side for £70m.

Morata struggled for regular game time under Zinedine Zidane, despite usually scoring when called upon.

Manchester United pursued the former Juventus star, but he eventually joined Chelsea and has already shown his worth.

Morata has three Premier League goals in five appearances so far, while Madrid have had difficulties up front since his departure.

Karim Benzema was preferred last term but his injury and Cristiano Ronaldo’s suspension has highlighted Madrid’s lack of strikers.

During the most recent international break, Morata returned to the Bernabeu, scoring from a Ramos assist in a 3-0 win for Spain over Italy.

And according to Spanish outlet Diario Gol, Madrid skipper Ramos reminded Morata of his importance to the club prior to their game against Real Sociedad last night.

The La Liga giants prevailed 3-1 winners, with young forward Borja Mayoral getting on the scoresheet.

But Morata and Ramos are claimed to have continued to speak on WhatsApp.

And the sensation at the club is that they would be more dangerous with the Chelsea man.

Ramos’ feelings are apparently shared by Madrid’s hierarchy.

Diario Gol add Madrid president Florentino Perez believes letting Morata escape may have been a mistake.

Reports have suggested Zidane and Madrid are desperate to land a striker in January, with a move for Arsenal’s Alexis Sanchez mooted.

However, it appears key figures at the Bernabeu are regretting losing Morata to Chelsea as he went in search of regular football.
