Chelsea’s £60million striker Alvaro Morata has been spotted talking to Juventus sporting director Fabio Paratici in Milan amid speculation he wants to return to Serie A, the Daily Mail reports. The Blues’ record signing, 25, was photographed with the executive outside a five-star hotel on Wednesday, amid reports he wants to leave Stamford Bridge after a difficult first season in the Premier League. He managed only 11 league goals for Chelsea in the recently-concluded season and only appeared as a last-minute substitute in Saturday’s FA Cup final victory over Manchester United. AC Milan have also been linked with the Italy international, who played for Juve for two seasons before moving to Real Madrid in 2016.
