Conte pushes for Real Madrid striker

It was Antonio Conte who persuaded Alvaro Morata to join Juventus back in 2014. Now, according to reports by AS, the Chelsea boss has personally asked for the striker again.

The deal looks more than likely, leaving all parties happy with the outcome. Real Madrid's asking price last season was £40 million, before Zidane decided to keep the Spanish striker. 

Morata, frustrated at Real this season, will be looking for more game time, and will know Conte is a big fan of his, with the Italian ready to pay over the odds to bring him to Stamford Bridge.

Real Madrid have been looking for a centre-forward in the current market, and an extra 56 million pounds would prove very helpful.
