Pavel Nedved has sent out the message that Álvaro Morata is a key figure for Juventus and the 'Bianconeri' plan to hang on to the Spanish striker. "Morata is staying here, he's Juve's future. He's an exceptional talent and has only fulfilled 60% of his potential", stressed the legendary former winger, who now sits on the Juventus board.

Despite Nedved's fighting talk, Real Madrid maintain the option to buy back Morata - as reported by MARCA on 25th September - until June 2016 regardless of any new contract the marksman might sign in Turin. The fee 'Los Blancos' would have to stump up would be 32 million euros, as agreed when they sold the goalscorer to Juventus.

However, when Morata was asked by Radio MARCA about this possibility, the 22-year-old played down the idea of returning to the Bernabéu: "On paper I could go back to Madrid, but there are things that go beyond buyback options, such as your personal happiness". Indeed, the Madrid-born starlet added that he is so desperate to succeed at the J-Stadium that he'd "walk from Milan to Turin if we won this year's Champions League at the San Siro".
