Spanish and Chelsea striker Alvaro Morata agreed to join Seria A side AC Milan but the deal fell through following the change of ownership at the club, as claimed by Italian journalist Fabrizio Romano.
Morata joined Chelsea in a record £60million deal in the summer of 2017 but he failed to justify his price tag and he drew heavy criticism from the pundits and the fans of the club. He scored only 11 goals in the Premier League last term most of which came in the first half of the season.
