Real Madrid tell Arsenal and Chelsea target to stay after pulling out of Paul Pogba race
ALVARO MORATA will be given the chance to fight for his place at Real Madrid this season, according to reports.
Chelsea's Most Expensive Transfers
Morata initially left Madrid two years ago to join Juventus.
There he racked up two league titles and Champions League final appearance and impressed so much that the Spanish club activated their £23million buy-back clause this summer.
And Express Sport understands Madrid had been planning on selling the 23-year-old on for £50m and pocketing the profit.

And despite having already secured £33m Marseille hitman Michy Batshuayi, he is thought to be interested in another striker.
But both managers will reportedly have to consider other targets after Morata's agent Juanma Lopez was told the player will be staying at the Bernabeu.
