Chelsea join race to sign Juventus striker Alvaro Morata

Chelsea have joined the race to sign Juventus striker Alvaro Morata this summer. 

Europe elite clubs Arsenal, Paris Saint-Germain and both Manchester clubs are interested in the forward. 

Morata turned down a Premier League move in the summer of 2014 to join Serie A giants Juventus, but Sportsblog360 understands that he is set for a big-money move this summer. 

The Spain International is a Real Madrid youth product and, Madrid will this week communicate to Juve that they are to exercise their buyback clause. 

Real Madrid president Florentino Perez inserted a €33million release clause into his 2014 deal, around £25million, and the player's camp are already working on a deal to sell him on immediately for around £40million. 

Arsenal remain interested, but Chelsea are now in the mix as well as Manchester United and Manchester City. 

Paris Saint-Germain have also made contact as they look to rejuvenate their frontline this summer.
