Alvaro Morata replies to Cristiano Ronaldo after Chelsea move

Alvaro Morata outlines the reasons why he opted to join Chelsea after Cristiano Ronaldo admitted Real Madrid miss him

Alvaro Morata has insisted that he opted to move to Chelsea for the good of his career after Cristiano Ronaldo recently admitted that Real Madrid have been feeling the absence of the striker.

The Spanish forward opted to quit The Bernabeu in search of regular first-team football back in July and chose to link up with Antonio Conte at Chelsea, signing a five-year contract with the west London club.

Morata has made a strong start to life at Chelsea, scoring seven goals and making three assists in 10 Premier League games.

The 25-year-old headed home the winner for the Blues as Chelsea secured a 1-0 victory over Manchester United in the Premier League last weekend.

Real Madrid superstar Ronaldo last week admitted that the Spanish side were feeling the absences of the likes of Morata after Los Blancos let him leave the club in the summer.

However, Morata has insisted that he is convinced he made the right decision in leaving Real Madrid to sign for the west London club back in July.

Morata told Spanish newspaper Marca: “In the end, the only decisive reason, which Real Madrid were not able to give me, was to play each Sunday, whether good or bad.

“Now there have been three games where I have not been at my best physically but I have continued to play. This is what I needed.

“Real Madrid are Real Madrid and any player would want to be at Real Madrid. Why would I want to leave Real Madrid? I wanted to play, nothing else.

“It has been said that I did not want to battle but I fought all my life to be at Real Madrid and be in the starting eleven.

“All my life, but I needed to play and in Chelsea I have got what I wanted.”

Morata will be expecting to start for Chelsea when the Blues return to Premier League action after the international break with a trip to West Brom.

The Blues are currently fourth in the table and nine points behind leaders Manchester City after 11 games of the new campaign.

Jose Mourinho ready to dump Manchester United for PSG

It seems the prospect of managing the likes of Neymar, Mbappe, Cavani and others as well as winning the Champions league with a different club might be the motive for Jose Mourinho to consider making a switch to Paris in the future.

Manchester United’s owners, the Glazer family, are increasingly convinced that Jose Mourinho will walk away from the club at the end of the season to take over at Paris Saint-Germain.

Mourinho is midway through a three-year deal at Old Trafford but his public flirtations with the French club were noted in October.

Sources close to the club dismissed the comments as Mourinho agitating for a pay rise but there is now a stronger belief among United’s top brass that the 54-year-old’s head has been turned.

United have made a good start to the season but Pep Guardiola’s Manchester City side have cast a shadow over the Red Devils and Mourinho’s concerned he will not be able to compete with this current City team.

Paris Saint-Germain have long coveted Mourinho and made overtures for him after his second sacking at Chelsea. United believe the French giants will reignite their summer this interest and Mourinho could walk away at the end of the season, according to The Sun.

The lure of moving to Paris is clear to see for Mourinho. The club are overwhelming favourites for the Ligue 1 title this year and with Neymar and Kylian Mbappe they have a fantastic opportunity in the Champions League.

Winning the European Cup with PSG would see Mourinho become the first manager in history to win the competition with three different teams.

Chelsea owner Roman Abramovich has decided to sack head coach Antonio Conte

Chelsea owner Roman Abramovich has already decided to sack head coach Antonio Conte, according to Spanish newspaper Marca.

The Blues are reportedly in a state of panic as they seek to line up a suitable successor.

Conte’s relationship with Abramovich and the Stamford Bridge hierarchy is said to be in tatters, with little dialogue between coach and owner.

The Russian billionaire has already determined that the Italian will not serve the third season of his three-year contract last season, but more poor results like the 3-0 drubbing to Roma in midweek could accelerate his exit.

The report points to Abramovich’s sacking of Roberto Di Matteo months after he won the Blues their long-awaited Champions League title as evidence that last season’s Premier League triumph will not save Conte.

The former Italy and Juventus boss has had a fractious relationship with the board since the summer. He was apparently unhappy with the level of support he had received during the transfer window.

Didier Drogba set to replace Emenalo at Chelsea

Chelsea are considering the possibility of bringing Didier Drogba back to Stamford Bridge as replacement for former Nigeria international Michael Emenalo, who has resigned his appointment as Technical Director of the Premier League champion, as per reports.

The Telegraph is reporting that Emenalo’s departure could also pave the way for Abramovich to try again to bring former striker Didier Drogba back to the club in some capacity.

Hull City manager Leonid Slutsky is also being considered and can be offered a job at Chelsea in case he is dismissed from the post of head coach of his club.

Drogba scored over 150 goals across two different spells at Chelsea and is currently a player-owner at American club Phoenix Rising.

According to the publication, the post of Technical Director at Chelsea can be abolished, and the duties are distributed among other employees.

French Ligue 1 moneybags Monaco are interested in the services of Michael Emenalo .

Nigerian Michael Emenalo explains his decision to quit Chelsea

Emenalo has walked away from the club after a 10-year association, where he has become one of Roman Abramovich's most trusted advisors.

Chelsea confirmed the surprise news on Monday just a day after the Blues beat Manchester United at Stamford Bridge, a game Emenalo watched on from the bench.

Announcing his decision, Emenalo said: "This has been a very difficult decision to make, but one I believe is right for both myself and my family, and the club. I have had the privilege to work alongside some of the most talented people in the world of sport over the past 10 years, and I will depart incredibly proud of the achievements we have made. I wish Chelsea every success and look forward to following the club’s future triumphs from afar."

Director Marina Granovskaia said: "We are extremely grateful to Michael for his tireless work over the past 10 years. He has played an important role during the most successful period in the club's history, helping make Chelsea the club it is today. We will now be reviewing our management structure, and Michael will be a part of that process as we look ahead."

Antonio Conte added: "I am very sorry to see Michael leave Chelsea, and I would like to thank him for all his help and support since I arrived at this club. I have enjoyed working with him very much, we celebrated a Premier League title together in May, and I wish him the very best for the future."
