Chelsea Finds Morata’s Replacement In Serie A
Pp
Chelsea and Maurizio Sarri have identified a replacement for misfiring striker, Alvaro Morata, in Genoa’s Krzysztof Piatek, according to reports.
While Morata has again struggled in front of goal this second season at Chelsea, Piatek has started the season with 10 goals for club and country.
Chelsea is expected be busy when the transfer window opens. They sent scouts to last Sunday’s Milan derby to watch Milan’s 23-year-old captain and centre-back, Alessio Romagnoli.
But the really big news from Chelsea’s perspective is that Real Madrid might be about to replace Julen Lopetegui with Antonio Conte, who would probably have a hard time convincing Eden Hazard to move to the Bernabeu next summer – the forward was far from Conte’s biggest fan by the end of the Italian’s time at Stamford Bridge
Fearful that they might end up missing out on Hazard, Madrid are busily making contingency plans.
As Scooper reported earlier, Madrid are said to be preparing a January bid for LA Galaxy’s Zlatan Ibrahimovic, 37.
Piatek, 23, could be a good upgrade to Morata, 25, who has simply failed to live up to the money spent on him in the summer of last season.
