This time last month, reports were rife that Real Madrid's Alvaro Morata was set to join Manchester United in a big-money move.Richard Keys claimed a deal was "done", while various other sources stated that only a fee needed to be agreed between the two clubs.We're now in mid-July and United have signed Romelu Lukaku instead for £75 million and Morata is about to join Chelsea.How everything can change in the space of a month. A fee - said to be £58 million - has been agreed, with Chelsea announcing as much on their official website."Chelsea Football Club and Real Madrid have agreed terms for the transfer of Alvaro Morata to Stamford Bridge," the statement read."The move is now subject to him agreeing personal terms and passing a medical."Morata, 24, is a Spanish international forward, and helped Real to lift a second successive Champions League last season."Real have also announced the agreement, adding: "The club wishes to express its thanks for the dedication, professionalism and exemplary conduct displayed by the player over the years."Morata's career at Real began back in 2008 and he's since progressed through the ranks to become a first-term player.Game time has proved an issue in recent years, though, and so he's sought a move to a club where he's guaranteed more minutes.Antonio Conte can provide exactly that at Chelsea given Diego Costa is set to leave, and now Sergio Ramos has reacted on Twitter to Morata's impending departure.In the tweet below, a clearly gutted Ramos wishes his domestic and international teammate the best of luck, while adding he will be missed at the Bernabeu.

RAMOS' EMOTIONAL GOODBYE TO MORATA

In a loose translation, Ramos wrote: "Moratoski, all the luck in the world. Enjoy your new stage and still getting goals as you do. You will be missed. @AlvaroMorata."

Morata's knack for scoring goals as a substitute will certainly be missed at Real, but there's no denying he deserves to be a first-choice striker.

In 26 La Liga appearances last season, 12 of which from the bench, the Spaniard scored a rather impressive 15 goals.

If given the chance to start somewhere closer to 30 league games per season, there's every chance he could score 20+ goals - but this is the Premier League.
