Morata made the move to Stamford Bridge from Real Madrid last summer, after being deemed surplus to requirements in the Spanish capital for the second time in his career.
Chelsea splashed out a rumoured club-record fee of around £60 million to secure Morata’s signature, but, as has since been heavily covered in the media, the 25-year-old’s time in London has been far from straightforward.
Despite racking up 15 goals and 6 assists across all competitions, Morata looked heavy-footed and frankly unfit for lengthy stretches over the course of the season, with Chelsea’s fans having made clear their frustrations regarding the performances of their big-money hitman on numerous occasions over the last couple of months.
As such, unsurprisingly, Morata has already been linked with a potential summer departure from Stamford Bridge, with reports stemming from Italy last month having gone so far as to suggest that the Spaniard had already agreed personal terms with Juventus.
However, as per the aforementioned update from transfer expert Gianluca Di Marzio this afternoon, Juve are not the only Italian club with designs on securing a deal for Morata over the coming months, amid claims that AC Milan have actually opened dialogue with Chelsea over a move for the Spanish hitman.
The Rossoneri were known to have attempted to sign Morata last summer, before his switch to Stamford Bridge, with Di Marzio adding that the player himself is keen on a return to Italy.
