Atletico Madrid reportedly remain confident about keeping Alvaro Morata at the club for next season, despite claims that Chelsea may recall the striker.

Atletico Madrid reportedly have little concern regarding the future of Alvaro Morata, who is currently on loan from Chelsea.

Morata moved to the La Liga runners-up in January on an 18-month loan, contributing a total of six goals from 17 outings during the second half of the campaign.

However, it was claimed earlier this week that Chelsea would look to recall the Spain international unless Atletico pay in the region of £50m to sign the 26-year-old on a permanent deal.

While that seemingly remains a possibility, Marca claims that neither Atletico or Morata are anticipating that he will be forced into a return to Stamford Bridge.

Chelsea may be keeping their options open due a two-window transfer ban and a lack of first-team manager after Maurizio Sarri's departure to Juventus.

Nevertheless, Morata is unlikely to be interested in another season with the Blues, despite having three years still remaining on his contract.
