Madrid’s current stance is that the player is not for sale and Morata is confident he will make a success of his career at Los Blancos.  Michy Batshuayi has failed to establish himself in his first season at Stamford Bridge since his £33 million move from Marseille in the summer, while Chelsea have also had issues with Diego Costa, despite his status as the Premier League’s top scorer.   Costa was dropped against Leicester by Conte after a bid from Tianjin Quanjian left him unsettled in January. He has since been reintroduced to the squad but he has yet to come to an agreement with the club over a new long-term deal.   Chelsea also made an approach for Everton’s Romelu Lukaku last summer and they continue to scout the development of youngsters including Ajax’s Kasper Dolberg and Celtic’s Moussa Dembele.</blockquote>
