Borussia Dortmund have allegedly added wantaway Chelsea striker Alvaro Morata to their list of summer transfer targets.
According to Bild, the German giants are keen on the Spaniard but his asking price could slam the breaks on a potential deal.
Chelsea are said to be keen to recoup most of the £60m they paid Real Madrid for Morata’s services last season, while Dortmund are seeking a cut-price agreement.
Morata’s future at Stamford Bridge is uncertain following a difficult first campaign in England, during which the forward netted six goals in his first six games, but only five in the 25 that followed.
The report also suggests that Dortmund have cooled their interest in the striker’s Chelsea teammate Michy Batshuayi, who spent the latter half of last season on loan with them.
Meanwhile, Chelsea have reportedly become the latest club linked with Aston Villa midfielder Jack Grealish by offering the Englishman a “tempting” transfer package.
Tottenham Hotspur have previously been credited with interest with the 22-year-old, alongside Newcastle United and Leicester City.
News outlet TEAMtalk has reported, however, that Chelsea have submitted a £30m deal for Grealish, which includes the option of the midfielder heading back to Villa Park on loan for the upcoming season.
The Englishman is expected to leave Villa this summer as the club look to avoid a financial crisis, but the West Midlands club are allegedly holding out until a sizeable offer is received.
