Spaniard Álvaro Morata may be living his last days as a Juventus player. According to the AS newspaper, the striker has negotiations underway to head to Barcelona. According to the journal, the transfer is “95% completed”, leaving only the last details to be discussed.
Barça’s idea is to bring the center forward for at least 18 months and reach an agreement with Atlético de Madrid, the club that holds the athlete’s rights, regarding the inclusion of a call option at the end of the relationship.
The newspaper claims that Morata left the negotiations in the hands of his agent, Juanma López, and expects the representative to complete the operation this week.
Coach Xavi Hernández sees Morata as a great striker and believes that his experience, work ability and versatility are important characteristics to add to his squad.
However, to close the contract, the coolies would need to reduce the payroll. The intention is to get rid of players who have high salaries and are not being used, such as French defender Samuel Umtiti and Brazilian Philippe Coutinho.
Juve, in turn, seeks to make up for the loss with Argentine Mauro Icardi, who is leaving Paris Saint-Germain.
