Chelsea are expected to undergo significant changes this summer and it could see a number of high-profile departures from Stamford Bridge.

Amongst those attracting plenty of speculation is Spain striker Alvaro Morata, who has endured a difficult first campaign in the Premier League and missed out on a World Cup spot for his nation due to his struggles.

Morata initially hit the ground running at Chelsea but struggled in the second-half of the season, regularly dropping below January recruit Olivier Giroud in the pecking order, and has emerged as a target for Juventus and Borussia Dortmund this summer.

Sky Sports Italia claim AC Milan have also joined the hunt for the 25-year-old, who excelled in Italian football previously with serial champions Juventus, although they may struggle to fund a move due to Financial Fair Play regulations.

If an exit is to be approved, Chelsea will look to recoup the club-record fee of £60m they paid Real Madrid for his services last summer.
