Alvaro Morata left Real Madrid's pre-season in Los Angeles, to seal his imminent move to Chelsea.

As reported by Spanish programs 'SER' and 'Onda Cero', the footballer said goodbye to his teammates to travel to London. The Premier League champions await.

Several sources have revealed that an agreement has been reached between both clubs and that Morata will leave Zidane's team in a deal worth £75 million.

The Spanish striker was determined to leave the European Champions due to the lack of game-time under Zidane. For the Frenchman, Benzema is untouchable.

Mourinho's United had made a deal with the centre-forward, but the Red Devils did not meet Real's steep asking price.

Morata will be reunited with Antonio Conte after his spell at Juventus. 'Morata can be a world star', the Italian coach said. Morata will strengthen the Blues' attack, with Diego Costa expected to exit shortly.
