A loan move is being tooted as the mostly likely option, with a potential permanent switch possible in the summer.
Morata began his career in Spain and came through Real Madrids academy before being sold to Chelsea.
The Blues will look to recoup much of the £60million they spent on Morata, but may find it difficult to find a buyer willing to pay that figure for the out-of-form goalscorer.
