Alvaro Morata is having a sound campaign in his return to Atletico Madrid, but he’s on a short-term contract, and Juventus, who didn’t manage to bring him back on a permanent basis last summer, remain interested in his services.
Per Tuttomercatoweb, the Spaniard has been a regular, but his scoring tally, 14 goals in 41 games, is below expectations. The conversations about an extension haven’t been fruitful. Los Colchoneros don’t want to lose players for nothing. Therefore, he could be put on the market for a low fee come next summer.
Juventus would be very keen if the price tag was below €10M and his wage demands were reasonable. He already has two separate stints in Turin under his belt. He has accumulated 185 appearances, logging 59 goals and dishing 39 assists.
The Bianconeri have long been rumored to buy out Arkadiusz Milik. However, their €7.5M option lapsed at the end of April, Virgilio informs. They pumped the brakes because he missed time with a thigh injury and was in a slump before the Bologna game. Despite the turn of events, they could still keep him by orchestrating a new deal with Olympique Marseille.
Our Take on Juventus, Milik, and Morata
The call on the Pole testifies that everything is up in the air for the Old Lady due to their legal troubles, uncertain cup qualification, and front-office overhaul. He has tailed off after a good start and, while chances are he will stay put, it’s fair to wait it out. Between the two, the Spaniard is arguably a little better but also a tad more expensive. The future of Dusan Vlahovic is part of the equation as well.
