Chelsea have pulled off an incredible transfer coup by agreeing an initial fee of £58million with Real Madrid for Alvaro Morata.
In a statement on their website on Wednesday night, Chelsea confirmed Telegraph Sport’s earlier report that a deal with Madrid has been agreed and Morata will now discuss personal terms and undergo a medical.
Chelsea did not reveal the size of the fee, but Telegraph Sport understands the Premier League champions will pay an initial £58m before add-ons.
The £58m will still eclipse Chelsea’s previous record spend of £50m on Fernando Torres in 2011. It is believed the add-ons could see the final fee for Morata rise towards £70m if Chelsea achieve their targets with him.
Morata travelled with Real for their US tour, but will now break away from that to discuss personal terms with Chelsea and undergo a medial.
