Morata's Chelsea stint has an expiry date: 'I do not see myself here for very long'

Since 2016, the Spanish striker has lived in Turin, Madrid and London, and it finally looked like he had found his place in the English capital. However, Morata revealed he regrets leaving Italy and is eager to return some day.

"I'm fine," Morata told Italian newspaper 'La Gazzetta dello Sport'. "I live in downtown Chelsea. London fascinates me with its multi-ethnicity, the coexistence of cultures and religions, but I do not see myself living here for very long. Too much, too much stress, too many metropolises."

"Italy for a Spaniard is the best country to live," said Morata, whose Italian wife relocated to London with him. "You have everything: beauty, history, art, cooking, fashion. I would never have left Italy and Juve," he acknowledged.

The striker got up to speed quickly in the Premier League, but appears to be planning his next move despite only joining Antonio Conte's team in the summer. It seems his heart is back in Italy: "The disappointment [of leaving Juventus] was enormous, I found myself back to the starting point."
