Atletico's Morata denies Juve and Milan talks

Striker Alvaro Morata left Turin, but Juventus have been following him ever since. The 'Bianconeri' would be delighted to have him back and AC Milan would also make a place for him in Serie A if he wanted to return to a competition he knows perfectly.

The Atletico player was asked by 'Tuttosport' about this possible return to Italy and he replied: "I swear I haven't heard any of these things. I have a contract that ties me to Atletico until 30th June 2024 and my agent hasn't said anything to me.

"We know how things go in football, especially when it comes to the transfer market.... If certain favourable situations and certain opportunities arise in the summer for both buying and selling clubs, then what is stalled could be resolved. But, I repeat, I don't know anything about it at the moment," he said.

Morata denied having any knowledge of interest from Juve and Milan. For the moment, he is happy at Atletico and, unless another opportunity presents itself in the summer, the striker will continue playing for the 'Colchoneros'.
