Atlético scare Morata away

Atlético is very attentive to Morata’s movements —He still belongs to the club— and this new script twist, with Xavi’s call to the forward to go to Barça, was not expected in the rojiblanca entity. The news that came from Italy pointed to Juve will not stay with the forward from June and that was a concern in the Wanda Metropolitano because, although there is a contractual relationship, Neither is Morata available for the future, nor is the player considering wearing red and white again.

The forward of the National Team He left Atlético in the summer of 2020 using the transfer formula because it was what the market situation required. Luis Suárez was within reach, Diego Costa did not want to go out and had no offers and Morata, hurt since that substitution against Leipzig (Champions 19-20 quarterfinals), he no longer looked eager to continue under Simeone’s orders. He went on loan to Juventus, this summer the loan was renewed for another year at Allegri’s insistence and now the team White black has a purchase option of 35 million.

Vlahovic appears, wanted by Juve … and Atlético

The Morata-Juventus relationship is no longer what it was and also the club does not finish the accounts to execute the purchase, because it is also probing other forwards, especially Vlahovic, from Fiorentina, who by the way also loves Atlético and even went for him in the summer. If Juventus does not buy Morata, the forward I would be obliged to return to Cerro del Espino in July … unless you find a destination first. Even in January. And there the Barça option arises. Much better a change of scenery now than to be left with nothing in July. But Juve need a replacement (Icardi, Scamacca …)

Morata is clear that he does not want to return to Atlético even in passing to do the preseason. Y the rojiblanco club no longer had him and did have 35 million Juventus (plus 10 for each of the two loans that he has already received). But in recent months there were a certain pessimism regarding the plans of the Italians, who seemed somewhat disenchanted with the 9. However, he is a footballer with a good poster in Europe and maybe in summer the market of the forwards will be shaken (Haaland, Mbappé, Luis Suárez and Cavani who finish their contract …) and other doors open.

England, Italy, Germany ...

To the ram Italy seduces you professionally, Well, there he has performed at Juve in two stages and has won titles, and personally, Well, your partner is from this country. England could be a destination too, due to the potential of the PremierAlthough the final stretch of his time at Chelsea disappointed him. Has even had calls from Germany in his carrer. And there is the option from Xavi’s Barça, That he also likes because it would not only be for these six months, but a project for the future. The technician has already begun to conquer it.

Y Atlético awaits events. If Juventus does not buy it, but other interesting proposals arrive, they will be attended without any problem, although a team from outside LaLiga would have been preferred. In the case of Barça, since August 31 Griezmann’s name is on the table, now on loan to the rojiblanco team and with a purchase option for 40 million. The simplest way seems to be a barter between Morata and Griezmann. In this sense, although they are two independent operations, both clubs seem driven to understand each other. That is why Atleti is very attentive.
