Real Madrid manager Carlo Ancelotti has denied Alvaro Morata will leave on loan in the next winter transfer market. However, he has affirmed “it could be at the end of the season that he is not happy and we can think about letting him go but we need him now.”
“We need him. It’s true that he has not played many games but we have every confidence in him,” Los Blancos boss told the press.
“He hasn’t asked me directly to go out on loan,” Ancelotti added. In fact, the striker has recently reiterated his Real commitment despite the lack of minutes of play.
“I am very happy here, and feel I have the confidence of the manager, of Zidane, all the coaching staff, and the club,” he said.
“The boss has put me on in many games which were difficult and I must return the confidence he has shown in me,” Morata added.
The talented 21-year-old has been recently linked to a January loan move to Arsenal and Tottenham Hotspur, but both the player and the manager have rejected that transfer.
Spanish press had suggested the player was unhappy due to his current lack of first team football, but he has strongly denied it. “My agent looks after those type of things, but I am happy here and hope I can be here for a long time,” he concluded.
