Atletico Madrid will consider terminating the loan contract of Chelsea striker Alvaro Morata, according to a report.
The Spain international joined Atletico on an 18-month loan deal in January that contained the option of making the move permanent for £15m.
Morata has scored just six goals in 17 appearances since joining, however, and Spanish outlet AS claims that Diego Simeone may cut his losses less than half a year after pushing for the signing.
Simeone is said to be looking elsewhere for a more prolific striker, especially with concerns growing over the future of Barcelona-linked Antoine Griezmann.
Chelsea are unable to sign any new players for the next two transfer windows, but they already have Tammy Abraham and Michy Batshuayi returning from loan spells.
