Dortmund want Morata


Borussia Dortmund will turn their focus to signing Alvaro Morata from Chelsea because they will not be able to get Michy Batshuayi on a permanent deal, says The Sun.

The Blues are said to be considering letting Morata go after his first-season struggles at Stamford Bridge and Juventus are monitoring his situation.

On the other hand, Batshuayi’s success in Germany has convinced Chelsea to give the Belgian a chance next term and Dortmund will have a go at getting the best out of Morata if he is up for grabs.
