Chelsea striker Alvaro Morata has reportedly agreed terms over a return to Juventus.
According to Rai Sport, the agreement was struck between Juve and Morata’s camp, with the Spaniard ‘ready to take a pay cut’ to re-join the Bianconeri.
The former Real Madrid attacker currently earns €9m a season at Chelsea, while the Old Lady’s best-paid player is Gonzalo Higuain at €7.5m.
However, the broadcaster warns Chelsea may be looking to recoup somewhere close to the €66m they spent on Morata last summer.

One solution could be a two-year loan with an option to buy in 2020, similar to the deal they negotiated for Juan Cuadrado.
Morata won two Scudetti and reached a Champions League Final with Juve between 2014 and 2016, while his debut campaign at Stamford Bridge – despite yielding 15 goals – has been plagued by fitness problems.
