Juventus striker Alvaro Morata says he is happy in Turin and has distanced himself from reports linking him with a move back to Real Madrid.
The young Spanish striker moved to the Old Lady in the summer in a 14 million euro deal after finding himself down the pecking order at the Santiago Bernabeu. Despite a slow start to life in Italy, the forward is now feeling settled and is playing on a regular basis.
Some media outlets suggested at the weekend that Real have been impressed with their former player and would look to activate a buy-back clause in the summer – believed to be around 30 million euros.
But speaking to Cadena Ser, Morata said he knew nothing about any clauses that Real Madrid may have agreed and he’s enjoying life in Seria A.
“I don’t know what the clause is. Juventus and Real Madrid know, all I can say is that I’m happy in Turin. Things are going pretty well,” he stated.
And he added: “I scored the first goal against Cesena, but it was difficult to play on an artificial pitch. It’s a shame, because it was a good opportunity to extend our lead, but there’s still a long way to go.
“Sometimes Fernando [Llorente] and Tevez have played, other times it’s been me. We have many options and so far it’s gone well.”
