Juventus mulls Morata’s return as Lukaku deal hangs in balance

Alvaro Morata’s name has resurfaced in the football scene following comments made by Massimiliano Allegri just two days ago.

Although Allegri emphasized the depth of Juventus’ attacking lineup with four strikers, Morata’s potential comeback to Italy has sparked renewed interest in the transfer market.

The player’s eagerness to return and his strong rapport with Juventus have set the stage for a possible reunion. Despite his recent appearances for Atletico Madrid during friendly matches, Morata appears poised to bid farewell sooner than later.

However, negotiations are accompanied by a price. Morata’s agent, Berta, is reportedly seeking the activation of Morata’s €21 million release clause.

In contrast, Juventus’ sporting director, Cristiano Giuntoli, has reportedly secured Morata’s agreement for a third spell in Turin.

Giuntoli is well aware that the financial aspects of this deal could prove more favorable than the speculated terms for Romelu Lukaku.

Juventus’ contemplation of Morata’s return is being viewed as a tactical move in their interactions with Chelsea regarding Romelu Lukaku deal.

Current negotiations with the London club have hit a snag due to discrepancies in player valuation.

While both teams appraise the players at approximately €50 million, Juventus values the Serbian striker, likely referring to Lukaku, at around €90 million. In light of this predicament, Juventus is taking proactive measures.

With Morata’s affirmative response already in their possession, the club could potentially reintegrate him into Turin’s fold at a considerably more reasonable cost.
