Alvaro Morata will reportedly be staying at home.

According to Ruben Jimenez of Marca, Real Madrid won't sell Alvaro Morata, as Los Blancos have decided to reject all offers that are made this summer for the Spanish forward and count on him to play an important role in Zinedine Zidane's squad.

In June, during the group stage of Euro 2016, Real Madrid informed Juventus of its choice to salvage the federative rights on Morata, who joined the Old Lady from Los Blancos in 2014 for a fee of €20 million to be paid over three years. But despite frequently scoring when the Italian club needed it most, he never cemented a spot in its starting XI.

After returning to Real Madrid, Morata's agent, Juanma Lopez, let it be known his client received offers from some of the Premier League's top clubs.

Among them was an apparent offer from Chelsea valued at €60 million that, if Jimenez's report is accurate, nothing will become of. Arsenal and Manchester United were also linked with the Spaniard.
