The transfer will be completed after Morata's personal terms are finalized and a medical examination is passed.
Morata will be leaving Madrid for a second time. The Spain international was only bought back a year ago after two seasons at Juventus.
Although Morata won the Champions League final for a second time in June, he was only a late substitute in the victory over Juventus.
