Atletico Madrid will welcome back Alvaro Morata in the coming weeks. The Madrid striker has been trying for months to avoid the situation of returning to Diego Pablo Simeone's side, but he will have no choice but to do so.
In the winter transfer window he could have gone to Barcelona but ended up staying at Juventus despite the arrival of Vlahovic because Massimialiano Allegri has faith in him. The Italian coach still does, although the club's accounts make the coach's and the club's wish impossible.
According to newspaper 'Marca', Juventus have already told Morata that they will not exercise his buyout clause because they do not have that much money, so he will return to Madrid.
The Old Lady are not willing, nor is it able, to pay 35 million euros, an amount fixed in that option that will not be executed. Until last Wednesday, according to 'Il Corriere dello Sport', Juve were offering 20 million to Atletico, who continue to reject the offers.
If there is finally no agreement, Atletico will have to study what is the best plan for Morata, as the striker has no place with Cholo and has a contract until 2024.
Morata will return to Atletico with 48 appearances and 35 starts to date, as well as 12 goals and eight assists if he does not add to these figures by the end of the season.
