In Italy they insist with Alvaro Morata and the Juventus of Turin. Specifically it is Il Corriere dello Sport The one that has on the cover this Tuesday the wish of the Atlético de Madrid forward to return to the Italian city, where he spent two good years before Real Madrid decided that he should return.
This means ensures that Morata has made the decision to return to Juventus, and has already communicated it to both the club and the coach, Diego Simeone. The response from the offices and from the bench has been the same: they do not want to transfer the forward.
In any case, and always according to Il Corriere dello Sport, Morata He will insist, because his wish and that of his Italian wife is to return to Turin, a city where they were very happy, to play for Juventus, where the mattress striker continues to have many friends.
Atlético's plans were to transfer Diego Costa and stay with Morata, but the departure of the Spanish-Brazilian is stopped for the moment. The Madrid entity bet heavily on Morata, paying more than 50 million euros to Chelsea to take over his services, a year and a half ago.
Performance of Morata as a rojiblanco, without being extraordinary, it has not been bad. He has been the team's top scorer last season and Cholo continues to trust in his qualities, a reason that does not prevent Atlético from looking for another '9' in this summer market … as long as another striker comes out, with Diego Costa as the main wish of the rectors of the club.
Juventus' formula to convince Atlético is to pay for the transfer in five years, now paying a lower amount and gradually increasing it until the agreed amount is reached. Something that would not convince the mattress makers, because now is when they need the money.
On the other hand, La Gazzetta dello Sport ensures that Juve wants to include Douglas Costa in the operation, something that to this day, is not convincing either in the Metropolitan Wanda, despite the fact that the Brazilian was a target of the rojiblancos in the not too distant past.
