Álvaro Morata will definitively return to Juventus, the Italian champion reports on official channels on Tuesday evening. The 27-year-old attacker, from Atlético Madrid, will play for the coming season on a rental basis La Vecchia Signora. Juventus has announced that the rent is 10 million euros, with the club having the option to take him over for 45 million next year. 35 million can be permanently recruited.

Morata, who also played for Juventus between 2014 and 2016, has a contract with Atlético that will run for three more seasons. The Spanish striker was rented out by Chelsea in January 2019 los Colchoneros. Six months later, he moved permanently to the Spanish club. That deal involved nearly eighty million euros. Morata has changed clubs regularly in recent years and as a result, the 33-time international of Spain has a record. A total of 205 million euros has been paid for him in recent seasons, which has never been deposited for a Spanish player in history. For fellow countryman Fernando Torres, a total of 94 million euros was paid in the past by Liverpool and Chelsea.

The brand new addition came in his first period in Turin to 27 hits and 18 assists in 93 appearances. The ex-Real Madrid forward may already make his debut on behalf of Juventus in the away match against AS Roma on Sunday. The title holder initially wanted to take over Luis Suárez from Barcelona, ​​but due to his problems with Italian citizenship, the focus was shifted to Morata. The latter is the fourth acquisition of the new head coach Andrea Pirlo after Arthur Melo, Weston McKennie and Stefano Gori.
