Madrid want Morata back?

By Football Italia staff

Reports suggest that Real Madrid will meet the €30m buy-back price for Juventus striker Alvaro Morata next summer.

The striker impressed in the Bianconeri’s run to the Champions League final last season and turned heads again on Tuesday with a superb finish in the 2-1 win over Manchester City.

Gazzetta dello Sport believes that the Merengues are ready to present the Old Lady with the sum in June 2016, which was agreed as part of the deal that took the Spaniard to Turin.

However, the newspaper reports that the final decision rests with Morata and that Juve will attempt to convince him by offering a new contract until 2021 in January.

The 22-year-old’s current deal is set to expire in 2019 and Gazzetta believe that the new offer will be for a €3.5m salary that will rise through the years of the contract.

Tuttosport also believe that the Bianconeri’s directors are attempting to convince the striker’s agent to cancel the buy-back clause currently in place.
