LALIGA - Barcelona reject the offer to sign Chelsea forward

La Liga Champions Barcelona has rejected a move to sign Chelsea forward this winter after the striker was offered to the Catalan giants.

Alvaro Morata is seeking a move away from the Stamford Bridge and his agent Juanma Lopez has urged Barcelona and Atletico Madrid to sign the former Real Madrid striker, according to El Mundo Deportivo.

Morata has not settled in England and he is seeking for a move elsewhere and Sevilla is willing to offer an escape route for the Spanish international to reinvent his career but they admitted a deal would be ‘extremely difficult’.

Barcelona turned down the offer of a six-month loan deal due to wage costs involved and the Camp Nou outfit is willing to give opportunities to the youngsters as Morata signing will hamper the growth of the upcoming stars.
