Álvaro Morata’s future is one of the long stories of this summer. The Spanish striker is fully concentrated with the Spanish national team in France but the rumours don’t stop and his uncertain future is keeping Real Madrid board really busy.
If Real Madrid want, the club could buy back Álvaro Morata this summer for only 30M€. It’s almost certain that Real Madrid will execute this clause and the striker will come back to Madrid, but what for? Is he staying in Madrid or leaving somewhere else? What Real Madrid should do?
Morata is one of the topscorer in this Euro 2016 after scoring two goals in Spain’s victory against Turkey on Friday. He missed some chances against Czech Republic in the first game but he was back in track and there is no doubt he’s the best Spanish striker at the moment.
His numbers at Juventus were good but not excellent. He was never a fix player in the lineup for Massimiliano Allegri and very often Morata had to watch Dybala and Mandzukic playing in his position.
This season, Morata played 34 games in Serie A, only 16 in the line up, scoring 7 goals. In Champions League, the 23-year-old forward scored 2 goals in 8 games. In his first season in Italy, Morata scored 8 goals in Serie A and 5 goals in Champions League including the goal in the semifinals against Real Madrd who gave the pass to the final to Juventus at Bernabéu Stadium.
Morata’s numbers are not impressive, especially when you are talking of a eventual Real Madrid striker. However, the club needs a forward who can stay on the bench and play in a good way when Benzema, Cristiano Ronaldo or Bale aren’t fit to play.
In other words, Real Madrid need a replacement for Jesé. Could this person be Morata? It looks like the decision is on the player, who has to choose if stay at ‘Los Blancos’ and not play that much or leave to England to play always in the lineup of a top Premier League club.
