      Morata joined Chelsea from Real Madrid following a club-record £70million deal almost four years ago but struggled to stand out at Stamford Bridge.
      The star striker was loaned out in 2019 to Atletico Madrid, who signed him on a permanent basis a year later before loaning him out to former club Juventus.
      The Spain international appears to have regained his old form and is loving life with his wife and three kids.
      Alice added: “Leonardo is very sweet, he spends all day giving me kisses, but he is very busy. Don’t stop for a minute. It is the same as Alvaro.

      “Alessandro has a unique character, he is very strong. He is very stubborn but very intelligent, he understands everything. He is also sweet but in his own way, when he wants.
      “Edoardo is very calm and good. He laughs all day, he never cries.”
      Alice also opened up about her recent bout with postpartum and sent a message of encouragement to other women who are dealing with the same issue.
      The Italian entrepreneur said that the effect is normal and is important for everyone to find balance.

      Alice added: “Now I am psychologically well but I have had a difficult time.
      “I would like to speak it well another day to help women who are going through the same thing.
      “I want to tell you that it is normal to go through difficult times because it is a very big change. It is a matter of finding the balance.
      “Everything happens. After the first 2 or 3 months everything is great and it returns to normal.”

      AC Milan freeze contract talks with Chelsea and Man Utd transfer target Donnarumma after Ultras confront him in training

      by

      AC MILAN have paused contract talks with Gianluigi Donnarumma after a group of ultras confronted the star goalkeeper at the club’s training ground.Donnarumma’s deal with Milan runs out in June and reports suggest that Premier League giants Manchester United as well as Chelsea have been keeping tabs on the 22-year-old.

      There have also been rumours claiming that the Italy international was holding talks with Juventus over a potential Serie A switch in the summer.
      As a result, tensions rose on Saturday when a group of hard-line supporters went to the club’s Milanello complex to address the situation directly with the Italy star, according to ANSA
      The fans reportedly ordered Donnarumma not to play against Juventus on Sunday in Turin unless he puts pen to paper on a new contract with the Rossoneri.
      After the incident, Milan legend and technical director Paolo Maldini said the club has paused contract renewal talks with the young shot-stopper until the end of the season.

      Maldini told ANSA: “It’s important to firmly reiterate that no one outside of AC Milan can decide who plays and who renews their contract.
      “Certain choices are up to the coach, regarding the football pitch, and up to the club, regarding contractual matters.”
      Maldini added that Milan’s decision to halt contract doesn’t only apply for Donnarumma.
      Hakan Calhanoglu’s deal also comes up in June and the attacking midfielder has yet to agree to new terms.
      Maldini added: “From this moment every single renewal negotiation is frozen until the end of the season, to allow the team to focus solely on the league.
      “In the meantime, we will continue to protect our players as we have always done.”

      Donnarumma recently put talks with Milan and Juventus on hold as he wants to play in the Champions League next season, according to a recent report by Sky Sport Italia.
      Juve and the Rossoneri are not certain to feature in next season’s competition as they are still battling for a top-four finish in Serie A.
      United, on the other hand, are highly likely to finish second in the Premier League but are currently spoilt for choice in goal with David de Gea and Dean Henderson in the squad.
      Chelsea are fourth in the Premier League and playing in the Champions League semi-finals.
      But Blues manager Thomas Tuchel seems to have full faith in Edouard Mendy between the sticks.

      West Ham’s Tammy Abraham transfer pursuit will be off if Chelsea demand £45m, admits David Moyes

      DAVID MOYES admits West Ham’s interest in Tammy Abraham will be blown out of the water if Chelsea demand £45million for the striker.Abraham’s future at Stamford Bridge is in doubt after being overlooked by Thomas Tuchel.

      But the Blues are understood to want the hefty fee for the 23-year-old England star, a valuation that is way out of Moyes’ price range — even if he delivers Champions League football.
      The West Ham boss said: “It would rule us out. So if that’s the figure and that’s what’s being said, we are out.
      “We don’t have that to buy a striker. No.”
      Abraham was a regular under Frank Lampard until the Chelsea legend was replaced by German Tuchel in January.
      Since then, the England international has made only six appearances, but did miss seven games with an ankle injury.
      With the likes of Timo Werner, 25 and Kai Havertz, 21, preferred centrally, Abraham is at risk of leaving Stamford Bridge.
      West Ham would be joined by Newcastle and Aston Villa for the forward, who is also fighting for a space in England’s Euros squad this summer.
      Moyes has already had talks with West Ham co-owner David Sullivan over a summer transfer budget — with Abraham’s asking price roughly the total amount he will have to spend.

      Making Jesse Lingard’s loan from Manchester United permanent is a priority, along with a desperately needed striker.
      Moyes added: “From conversations with the owner, I’ve an idea of what sort of cash will be available.
      “Whether it was finishing tenth, fourth or whatever, it didn’t change at all. There is probably a lack of money in the game.”

      by

      The coronavirus pandemic and expensive Bernabeu revamp initially led to talk of his existing £60,000-a-week contract being offered again, only with a ten per cent pay cut due to the circumstances.
      However, Spanish outlet AS now report of a fresh proposal worth £84,000-a-week.
      It is said Vazquez wants to stay in Madrid having come through the club’s famed La Fabrica academy to make his debut in 2015.
      Since then, he has become a vital option on the right side of midfield and defence for Zinedine Zidane, playing 34 times this season.
      Interest was reportedly strong from both United and Chelsea as they look to formulate a Premier League title bid next campaign.
      Bayern Munich, Paris Saint-Germain and Everton were also named in gossip column rumours.

      But all signs now point to Vazquez putting pen to paper on a three-year deal with Real, which also includes the option of a further season.
      He declared in a pre-match press conference last month: “What I concentrate on is the present.
      “I’m really enjoying myself this season because I’m playing and that’s what makes me happy.
      “I was and will always be a Real Madrid man.”

      Los Blancos are also targeting a new deal for captain Sergio Ramos.
      The centre-back is reportedly tussling over his future with the offer of a one-year extension on the table before his deal runs out next month.
      Currently sat second in LaLiga, the Spanish giants face Osasuna on Saturday before travelling to Chelsea for the second leg of their Champions League semi-final.

      Chelsea join Adrien Rabiot transfer race alongside Barcelona with Juventus midfielder available for £17m fee

      by

      CHELSEA are reportedly battling Barcelona for the signing of Juventus midfielder Adrien Rabiot in the summer.The 26-year-old has played 41 times this season, but it is understood that boss Andrea Pirlo has deemed him surplus to requirements.

      Rabiot has featured in 29 Serie A games this season – starting on 21 occasions
      And with the France international having two years left to run on his contract in Turin, Juve are willing to cash in on the player.
      According to Calciomercato, the Serie A giants would listen to offers in the region of £17million for Rabiot – who they signed on a free transfer in 2019.
      They claim that both the Blues and the Blaugrana are eyeing up a swoop at the end of the season.
      It has been stated that Barcelona are leading the race to secure Rabiot’s services with his agent and mother Veronique already making contact with the Spanish side.
      Should Rabiot decide to make the move to Stamford Bridge, he would link up with former gaffer Thomas Tuchel who managed him at Paris Saint-Germain.
      Chelsea see him as the perfect partner for N’Golo Kante in the middle of the pitch.
      And Rabiot is known to be a huge admirer of his French compatriot after he lauded the ex-Leicester man during the most recent international break.
      He said: “He never stops running. It’s easy to play alongside him.”

      Juventus are believed to be keen to offload the ex-Manchester City youth star due to a number of disappointing displays this campaign.
      Manchester United are another club that have been heavily linked with a potential deal to sign Rabiot.
      Reports have suggested that a swap could happen between Juve and the Old Lady for Rabiot and Donny van de Beek.
      Meanwhile there has been speculation that Alex Telles could be heading to Italy with Rabiot coming to England in the opposite direction.

      The 25-year-old has spent the best part of a decade at Stamford Bridge and is keen to continue his time at his ‘second home’ in West London if the opportunity arises.
      Christensen – who is contracted until 2022 – told the club’s website: “I’ve shown that I’m here for the long run.
      “I’ve been here almost nine, ten years now.
      “I’ve never doubted my decision [to come to Chelsea] and I’ve always been here for the long run.
      “I accept that the club sometimes changes managers, and that can make it hard to always be in the team.
      “After the loan spell [at Borussia Monchengladbach] I came back and played a good amount and since then it’s been a bit in and out, but it’s nice at the moment to play back-to-back games and my confidence is growing with each game.
      “There have not been any talks [on a contract extension] yet, but like I said, I’m in this for the long run and I always have been.
      “I feel like this is my second home. Denmark will always be my home, but Chelsea will always be my place.”

      Christensen has helped Chelsea reach this season’s FA Cup final after they ended Manchester City’s quadruple dreams in the last four at Wembley.
      And the Dane started the Champions League semi-final first leg against Real Madrid that finished 1-1 on Tuesday.
      The Blues bagged a crucial away goal thanks to Christian Pulisic’s cool finish but it could have been even better in the Spanish capital if Timo Werner had not missed another sitter.
      Even Thiago Silva’s wife had a pop at the misfiring German as his tame shot from just a few yards out was saved by the legs of former Chelsea keeper Thibaut Courtois who appeared to mock the effort with Olivier Giroud in the tunnel.
      If Christensen and Co can keep a clean sheet in the return leg at Stamford Bridge on Wednesday then the Blues will reach their first Champions League final since they won the competition in 2012.
      Christensen is set to continue his run in the team in the West London derby against Fulham on Saturday but skipper Cesar Azpilicueta and England star Ben Chilwell could be rotated out at the back.

      Chelsea put Aston Villa on transfer alert with Tammy Abraham available for £40m fee after falling out of Tuchel’s plans

      by

      CHELSEA striker Tammy Abraham is being heavily linked with a move to Aston Villa amid reports the Blues are willing to sell him for £40million.The 23-year-old has started just four games since Thomas Tuchel took over from Frank Lampard at the end of January.

      And the German’s reluctance to play Abraham has led to widespread speculation over his future at Stamford Bridge.
      According to The Mirror, Chelsea are willing to accept an offer of £40m from Aston Villa for the young striker.
      Abraham scored 26 goals in 40 games for Dean Smith’s side during his loan spell with the club during their 2018-19 campaign in the Championship.
      Villa then inquired about signing him permanently when they were promoted back to the Premier League, but Chelsea were not willing to sell.
      Now though, circumstances seem to have changed as Tuchel has chosen instead to pick the likes of Timo Werner and Christian Pulisic to lead the line.
      Abraham, who is under contract with the London club until 2023, had netted 11 goals this season under Lampard before his reign as boss came to an end early in 2021.
      The England striker was Chelsea’s top scorer in the league when the club decided to go with a new manager.
      But since then opportunities have been few and far between as he has only managed to find the net once following Tuchel’s arrival.

      Abraham would also provide striker Ollie Watkins with some much-needed competition for places within the Villa squad.
      The Midlands club have been going through a dreadful run of form since talisman Jack Grealish suffered a shinbone injury.
      Smith’s side have managed just two Premier League wins in their last ten games, dropping from eighth place into the bottom half of the table.
