The Spanish Alvaro Morata, forward of the Juventus of Turin, is the great objective of Barça to strengthen the lead before the transfer market closes. His agent, Juanma López, traveled to Italy on Monday for a possible meeting with the leaders of Juve and discuss the forward’s future situation, according to Tuttomercatoweb. The Turin club would let him out if he now signed Vlahovic, Fiorentina’s top scorer, to whom his sports director opened the door in January if Juve paid 70 million euros.
The sporting director of Fiorentina, Daniele Pradè, admitted that they have several offers and that Vlahovic he can now sign for Juve: “All doors are open, we want to understand what the player wants and what his agents want. We cannot afford to lose him in a free transfer,” he said, recalling that in 2023 if he does not renew he would leave for free . And he put a price on it to leave now: “It is an important valuation, greater than 70 million, without bartering or payment in many years.” If Juve accepts these conditions, I would now sign Vlahovic and let out Morata.
In the event that Juventus opened the exit door of Morata, Barça would prefer not to bet on his signing and would be interested in a transfer until the end of the season. It should be remembered that Morata It is owned by Atlético de Madrid and at the Camp Nou they do not want to have to pay the rojiblancos a transfer of an amount similar to what they will charge for Antoine Griezmann, which is on loan at Wanda with a purchase option of 40 million euros.
The new muscle injury Ansu Fati, that everything indicates that he will miss a good part of the remainder of the season, is another factor to take into account in the ‘Morata operation’, since his absence up front could cause the Barça decide to bet on the signing of Morata definitively, although the financial situation of the Barça team continues to be delicate.
