DBasia.news – Chelsea are active during this winter transfer market. After confirming Christian Pulisic’s transfer, Chelsea also signed Gonzalo Higuain as the solution for the goal drought.
As we know, despite the good performance under Maurizio Sarri and currently in the fourth place, the two strikers Olivier Giroud and Alvaro Morata haven’t performed their best. In total, they just scored 15 goals.
Higuain’s arrival replaced Morata’s position in the front line. Moreover, before his arrival, Sarri often eliminated him from the main squad and preferred Eden Hazard as the false nine.
Tired of not getting the place in the main squad, Morata decided to return to Spain and joined Atletico Madrid. The 26-year-old player decided that he is destined to support Diego Simeone club.
“My life has taken many detours, but it was destiny that I would arrive here,” Morata said.
“I’m really proud to be back at this club, it’s my childhood team, I have so many happy memories, it means a lot to be here.”
As we know, Morata started his debut with Atleti in 2005-2007. The former Juventus player insisted that his priority when leaving Chelsea is joining Wanda Metropolitano.
“Everything else stopped when Atleti appeared. Everything that has happened before is history, I’m here now and everything appears very beautiful,” he concluded.
Alvaro Morata had his loaning period with Atletico Madrid for 1,5 seasons. The club are currently in the second position of LaLiga and might sign him permanently.
