Allegri, who thus silenced the rumors that had been circulating for days about Morata’s possible departure to Barcelona, recalled the 21 goals.
The coach of the Italian club Juventus, Massimiliano Allegri, assured the media on Wednesday that Spanish striker Álvaro Morata “will not go” to Barcelona after rumors about his possible departure to Xavi Hernández’s team.
“Álvaro is an important player and I am happy. I have spoken with him and I have told him that he is not leaving, despite the rumors, so he is looking forward to it, “explained Allegri at the press conference prior to the game that Juventus will play tomorrow against Napoli.
Allegri, who thus silenced the rumors that had been circulating for days about Morata’s possible departure to Barcelona, recalled the 21 goals that the Madrid striker scored last season and remarked that “this year he has scored seven set pieces”.

The Italian coach came out in defense of the forward by ensuring that the problem with Morata is that people see him “as someone who is missing something”, when he is really the second highest scorer of the Turin team.
Morata, 29, has worn the shirt black and white in two stages of his sports career, the first between 2014 and 2016, and the current one, which began in 2020, when the Turin club re-incorporated him, on loan from Atlético de Madrid, for ten million euros.
The Spanish attacker has starred in a great career at Juventus, after scoring 21 goals in the 44 games last year and winning the Italian Cup and the Italian Super Cup. (D)
