Alvaro Morata has failed to get many starts this season for the Los Blancos

Real Madrid bought Morata two seasons ago after exercising their buyback clause in his contract, but the Spaniard has failed to set the world alight since his return. He was again left on the bench against Celta, in what was Real's most important game of the season.

The intriguing question was his absence despite Real suffering an injury crisis.

Morata has scored 9 goals in 25 appearances this season but the majority of his performances have come from the bench as his role in the team has been limited to an impact substitution role. With Diego Costa's good form for Chelsea, Morata must have regular game time to challenge for a place in the Spain's national side.

Arsenal and Chelsea are interested in the striker and Morata might decide to leave Real Madrid once again in search of playing time.
