# Juventus leading PSG in the race for Morata

Juventus have been handed a big boost in their pursuit of Chelsea striker Alvaro Morata.

The Serie A leaders want to sign Morata from the Blues this summer as they aim to bolster their attacking reinforcements. It’s been reported that Juve are out to secure a two-year loan deal with an obligation to buy as they plot a return for their former forward.

PSG were understood to have been keeping tabs on Morata ahead of a potential summer move but according to fresh claims from [Tuttosport](https://www.tuttosport.com/news/calcio/serie-a/juventus/2018/05/11-42721215/juventus_morata_un_po_pi_vicino/), the Ligue 1 champions may find it tricky to secure a deal for the Spaniard.

It’s claimed that PSG will be subject to sanctions based around Financial Fair Play this summer, indicating that big-money moves for players such as Morata will be difficult to come by.

This has led Tuttosport to claim that Juventus have stolen a march on their French counterparts, with Morata high in demand this summer.
