The Bavarian giants have been trying to sign Callum Hudson-Odoi from the Premier League outfit this month, but have seen their offers rejected. Chelsea are hoping to bring in another striker themselves and have been linked with Gonzalo Higuain, meaning Morata could be made available for a move.

Fernando Llorente has emerged as a candidate for Barcelona in their hunt for a new striker,&nbsp;<a href="https://www.mundodeportivo.com/futbol/fc-barcelona/20190113/454104001895/opcion-fernando-llorente-para-doblar-luis-suarez.html" target="_blank">Mundo Deportivo</a>&nbsp;claims. The Catalan side need backup for Luis Suarez following the departure of Munir El Haddadi and see the 33-year-old as a reliable option. Llorente is out of contract at the end of the season, so Barca are confident they can get him for a good fee in the winter window.
