Morata unlikely to seal Juventus return this summer

Juventus chief executive Giuseppe Marotta had admitted that it will be difficult for the club to re-sign striker Alvaro Morata this summer, as reported by Football London.

Morata has really struggled to adapt to life in England, which has prompted talk of him moving back to Italy in a transfer to Juventus.

He has netted just three times since the turn of the year and lost his place in the side to January signing Olivier Giroud, who has played well since his move from Arsenal.

Morata joined the Blues for a reported club-record fee of £70 million, but it now appears unlikely that he will be going back to Juventus despite a move elsewhere not being out of the question just yet.

If he does stay at the club, he will hope to hit the ground running in pre-season ahead of a key campaign for the 25-year-old.

The Italian’s side chief executive feels that a deal to bring the player back is going to be very tough to achieve:

Morata always expressed sincere appreciation for Juventus and the city of Turin, but it was a very expensive transfer, so it’s practically impossible to get him back.
