The Flawed Logic of the Deal
There is no question that Morata is a very promising striker and has a bright future ahead of him. But if he moves to London, the Spaniard will no doubt be the second choice behind compatriot and Chelsea’s leading goalscorer Diego Costa. Courtois, on the other hand, is a first-choice keeper and is regarded as one of the best in the business and he has proved why, with his excellent displays this season.
Selling your first-choice goalkeeper, who is at the top of his game currently, to bring in a striker who will only be your second option behind Costa, does not make any sense whatsoever and would be an absolutely ludicrous piece of business if pursued by Conte and Chelsea.
