Morata wants to move back to Italy

Chelsea striker Alvaro Morata has admitted that he would like to move back to Italy.

The striker says that leaving Juventus was a mistake and that he misses living in Italy.

Morata rejoined Real Madrid from Juventus at the start of last season – due a buy-back clause in his contract.

He now reveals that he believes that was a mistake and would have liked to stay with Juventus in Italy, although his wife would rather live in Spain.

As quoted by The Mirror, Morata said this:

I should never have left Italy and Juve.

I really miss Italy. My wife would like to live in Spain; I’d like to live in Italy.

The centre forward has had a solid start to life at Chelsea. He has scored seven goals in 11 games for the club so far.

Six goals in eight Premier League games shows how quickly he has adapted to life in England, but that has not stopped him from thinking of a move away.
