Juventus' Hopes Of Signing Alvaro Morata Are Dashed, The Player Admits He Feels At Home Playing With Joao Felix
JAKARTA - Alvaro Morata directly admitted that he was very happy to be working with Joao Felix at Atletico Madrid. The statement automatically dashed Juventus hopes to bring him to Turin.
The Spaniard returned to Atletico this season after a two-year loan spell with Juventus. After testing the player's performance, the Old Lady was interested and wanted to bring him back to Italy.
Quoted from Goal International, Juventus' hopes will likely be difficult to materialize. This is because Alvaro Morata said he was happy and at home after returning to Diego Simeone's club.
Upon returning from a loan period, Morata immediately became the star of his team's victory against Getafe in the first week of La Liga Spain, last weekend.
At that moment, Morata scored two goals. While his tandem on the front lines, Joao Felix managed to create a hat-trick of assists for his team.
"I really want to play here (Atletico Madrid), there's a lot of competition and I'm really excited for this season," said Alvaro Morata.
"They have always treated me very well and I still have to work and give everything for the team."
Morata's agent, Juanma Lopez, also confirmed this. Lopez hinted his client will stay at Atletico Madrid when interviewed by El Chiringuito.
“He has started very well. At the moment he is at Atletico and he is very comfortable," said Juanma Lopez.
"At the moment he has played a great game, every striker wants a goal. Alvaro has a contract with Atletico Madrid, he will stay here," explained the agent.
