Morata gave an interview claiming he did not see himself staying in London “very long” because he finds the city too big and too stressful.
But ahead of Chelsea’s Champions League clash with Roma he now claims he would be happy to stay at Stamford Bridge for another 10 years.
Morata, who signed a five-year deal when he completed his £70million move from Real Madrid, said: “I want to say again that we had a problem of understanding in this interview.
“If Chelsea proposed me 10 years I’d probably sign that too. I’m happy with this club, in this city, with everything in London. I really like London and, probably, if I improve, I can stay here more than five years.
“But I need to score many goals otherwise Chelsea will buy another player.
In an interview with an Italian newspaper published on Monday, the Spain striker said: “I do not see myself living here for very long. It’s too big, too much stress, too much of a metropolis.”
That set alarm bells ringing as Diego Costa had made similar remarks before forcing his way back to Atletico Madrid.
But Morata then went back on those comments altogether in Chelsea’s pre-match press conference, saying: “I wanted to say, probably in the future when I finish in my career, I won’t live in London.
