Alvaro Morata must not know whether he's coming or going at the Bernabeu. The former and current Real Madrid striker seems to spend every year being linked with a move away from or to the Spanish giants and now the club have named a price to sell him.

The 24 year old was a youth player at the Bernabeu before breaking into the club's B team and eventually the senior team. He was only ever used as a bit part player but scored eight league goals in the 2013/14 season.

That record in La Liga got him a move to Italy with Juventus. With the Old Lady Morata became one of the most wanted strikers in Europe, especially for his performance against his former club who had a buy back clause in their contract.

After 27 goals in two seasons for the Italian champions the Champions League winners decided they would exercise the buy back clause and signed him for €30 million but now they've set a price for selling him for a second time.

According to Spanish newspaper Diario Gol Real president Florentino Perez told the striker "If we get €60m (£51m) you can leave tomorrow."

Morata is reportedly unhappy at his lack of playing time in Zinedine Zidane's squad so far this season. The Spaniard is behind Karim Benzema in the pecking order and has only started six games so far this season.

Despite his lack of game time he has still bagged five goals in the league in 635 minutes of football and scored three times in Spain's European Championships campaign in the summer.

Chelsea have been linked with Morata several times with Antonio Conte apparently wanting to sign the player in the summer before he moved back to Spain's capital and is once again interested in the summer.

Selling Diego Costa and replacing him with Morata might be the perfect move for the Blues.

Will Morata move to Stamford Bridge?
