Chelsea offered Alvaro Morata to Juventus as part of their Gonzalo Higuain bid, it’s reported, but the Bianconeri only want cash.
Higuain is on loan to Milan for €18m with an option to buy at the end of the season for a further €36m.
The Argentine is eager to reunite with his old Napoli Coach Maurizio Sarri at Stamford Bridge.
According to Calciomercato.com, Chelsea proposed Morata to Juve as part of an exchange deal.
However, Bianconeri director Fabio Paratici turned down the offer, insisting they only want cash for the €55m-rated Argentina international.
Morata is increasingly unhappy in London and eager for a return to Turin, where he played from 2014-16 on loan from Real Madrid.
The Spaniard scored 27 goals in 93 games for Juventus, providing 19 assists.
His tally so far in 72 Chelsea appearances has been 24 goals and six assists.

Chelsea fans should understand that we need a ready made striker for now who knows the system that's why sari is goin after higuain. despite that he's old but he's good at sarri ball and can produce goals for now.... and maybe on summer we can get another striker better than higuain

.I'm not a Juventus nor a Chelsea fan , BUT over the years it appears that Juventus only make deals that are gonna Benefit Juventus ONLY. I'm BAFFLED at how they manage TO ACCOMPLISH DEALS THAT FAVOUR THEM ONLY, for example PAUL POGBA . It looks like they are close to accomplishing his return at their terms. Now there's this Higuain, Morata Deal . THEY will not let this GO THRU , yet it involves 2 Has Beens, easy to see , Juventus WON'T LET THIS ONE THRU ,, because they feel that they are STRENGTHENING CHELSEA by doing so. There's plenty other cases. Come on WHAT'S UP with all of those involved, IT'S TIME TO CEASE BEING FEEDER CLUBS FOR JUVE.

what Chelsea fans fail to understand is that 30 years or 40 years old striker dose not matter all Chelsea needs now is a goal scorer which Higuain can do an experienced striker.
