DBasia.news – Andrea Pirlo’s prayer of wanting to have a new striker following Gonzalo Higuain’s departure to Inter Miami has come true. Juventus has just inaugurated a new striker, Alvaro Morata.
“There is nothing more exciting than Alvaro Morata’s return to Turin is a beautiful one!” said the official Juventus website.
“The Spanish striker’s return to Juventus is now official. The 27-year-old joins on loan from Atletico Madrid, where he has played for the past one and a half seasons. He will be part of the team this year, with an option to extend his loan for one year, plus an option to buy.”
Juventus borrowed him from Atletico for 10 million euros with a permanent buy option of 45 million euros, plus if they want to borrow him again for another season Juve will pay another 10 million euros.
Alvaro Morata (27 years) defended Juventus in mid-2014-2016 and had a good match with Carlos Tevez at that time. Morata also played in a team with Pirlo, who is now his coach at Juve.
The Spanish national team striker left because it was difficult to shift Diego Costa’s position as a partner for Joao Felix at Diego Simeone’s Atletico. Moreover, according to Fabrizio Romano, the Italian football transfer expert Atletico has made Luis Suarez as a replacement for Morata.
Atlético Madrid and Barcelona have a total deal for Luis Suarez. Tonight’s meeting is 100 percent positive. No Atletico problem – he joined Atletico. here it is confirmation! It’s only a matter of time. Luis va a ser rojiblanco,” said Romano.
The domino effect of the attacker’s transfer occurred because another Juve game, Edin Dzeko, failed to leave AS Roma. The reason is Rome doesn’t want to let him go as long as he hasn’t got Arkadiusz Milik from Napoli.
