Alvaro Morata has offered himself back to Real Madrid, according to reports in Spain.
El Confidencial claim that the Chelsea striker has asked about the possibility of a return after failing to settle in the Premier League.
But it is claimed - perhaps unsurprisingly - that Morata was knocked back in his attempts to head back to the Bernabeu.
It is thought he would only be considered by Real if they fail to land any of their other transfer targets and are still in desperate need of a striker by the end of the transfer window.
