Atlético made a move to prevent Juventus from taking a chance on Morata

It is one of the soap operas of the Atletico Madrid in the summer prior to the 22/23 season. And that is saying a lot in a preseason full of soap operas, of stories with players that go on and on over time, with no apparent sign of finding any way out. We talk about the situation Álvaro Moratawhich has not advanced one iota since the season began.

The scenario is the one known by all. The Atlético loaned the player for two seasons to the Juventus, at a rate of ten million euros per course, with a purchase clause of 35 million euros. The Italian box, which wanted to keep the player, refused to pay such an amount and began to tighten the rope.

Now the player, who wants to continue on Italia, you’re stuck in a sticky situation. because the Juventus he does not rule the matter out until the end and will play the card that time passes, that the pressure rises. Second reason, because Atlético needs to enter 40 million euros to square accounts and comply with the financial ‘fair play’. Third, because there is interest from some club on the table that the player does not attend to at the moment because they would mean returning to Englandwhere you already had a bad experience.

And especially since a new ingredient is included in this matter. As pointed out by the Cadena Cope, the player renewed until 2024 before leaving on loan to Juventus, a fact that had not transpired until now and that conditions everything in a certain sense. A move that Atlético included precisely to prevent the Juventus he played it Because the Piedmontese team will no longer be able to sit down and wait for the contract to end (before it was in 2023) and take it for free. And above all because he will have to assume that the scenario of ending up staying at Atlético is increasingly real.

According to said medium, the player has already communicated to the club that he is willing to be the ‘9’ that the Atlético look forward to the coming season. Although it is true that, for sports and family reasons, he would like to continue in Italy (his wife is Italian), in Madrid his family was happy the time he was in the mattress club, so it would not be a bad option for the.
