Rumoured Arsenal and Tottenham target Alvaro Morata could be sold by Atletico Madrid just days after returning to the Spanish side from Juventus, with the Serie A giants reportedly interested in signing the striker.
According to Gazzetta dello Sport, the Italian side could make a new move for Morata in the coming weeks following the 29-year-old’s return to Atletico, with Arsenal and Tottenham also reportedly interested in signing the former Chelsea and Juventus star this summer.
The attacker is reportedly worth just £30m with Atletico open to offloading Morata to balance out their books, with the European giants currently unable to sign Antoine Grizemann due to La Liga salary rules, the same ruling that stopped FC Barcelona from renewing Lionel Messi’s contract last year.
A forward Antonio Conte himself once labelled as ‘a complete player’, Morata looks likely to depart Madrid this summer once again in his career, and Juventus could be the destination for the striker despite interest from Arsenal and Tottenham in the Spaniard.
Indeed, Juventus pushed hard for Atletico to lower their asking price for the attacker during his initial loan spell, and now, it looks like the Turin side will get their wish with Diego Simeone seemingly keen to offload the striker this summer.
Arsenal and Tottenham should allow Juventus to sign Morata
Arsenal and Tottenham both needed attacking reinforcements this summer, and with the Gunners set to sign Gabriel Jesus and Spurs already landing Richarlison, neither north London side has a desperate urge for a top-quality striker, meaning Juventus are free to go for Morata.
The Old Lady were desperate to sign Morata before his loan move expired last month, yet following this latest update, Juventus now seem more determined that ever to sign the Atletico star, especially now with Arsenal and Tottenham out of the picture to land the 29-year-old.
