Chelsea striker Alvaro Morata has been linked with a return to Italian giants Juventus after an underwhelming first season in the Premier League.
Juventus chief executive Giuseppe Marotta spoke to TuttoMarketweb, via Sports Witness, over a possible move for the Blues forward, he said:
They are simply rumours and I want to deny [that we want Morata] because we have a great attacking department.
Its no surprise that he is keen to brush the story off as just rumours, however, this definitely does not rule out a move back to Turin for the Spaniard.
The 25-year-old joined Chelsea for a staggering fee of around £60 million last summer and has provided a return of just 11 goals in 31 games.
Chelsea will be looking to recoup almost all of the £60 million figure if they are to sell, and they will be looking to replace him with a more reliable number nine.
However, it looks like time may be up for current manager Antonio Conte and the new manager may want to keep the former Real Madrid man.
