Following a successful season with Serie A Champions Juventus, it’s no wonder that Alvaro Morata is a subject of transfer speculation ahead of next season.
In a report by Jack Staplehurst for The Express, La Liga side Real Madrid are looking at using their buy-back clause which was agreed when the Spanish international swapped the Bernabeu for the Juventus Stadium.
However, it’s not being reported that Zinedine Zidane will add him to the squad, instead, he’ll be immediately transferred to join Antonio Conte at Chelsea.
It’s been no secret that the West London side are keen admirers of the young Striker who has impressed throughout the campaign, but the Italian outfit are reluctant to lose such a talent at their own cause.
A sell-on profit is the benefit of this situation for Los Blancos, as manager Zidane wouldn’t be able to promise the highly-talented forward a guaranteed spot in the team, but it seems as the Chelsea will pay over the odds if needed to land the Spanish star.
If Madrid get their act together, the fee to take Morata back to the Bernabeu is a rumoured £23.7m, and after the season Morata has had, it’s also a certain fact that any club would be prepared to up the stakes to bring in the forward.
