According to a report by Corriere dello Sport, Juventus are considering the possibility of stepping into the fray to bring Alvaro Morata back to Serie A.
The Spanish striker, who is also highly sought after by AC Milan, is attracting interest due to his relatively low cost, given a release clause that makes him a more affordable option.
Juventus are weighing up their options and deliberating on the feasibility of this move.
A complicating factor in the negotiations comes in the form of competition from Milan.
Both Italian giants are keen on securing the services of the forward, but the emerging obstacle could potentially slow down Juventus’s efforts to finalise the deal.
An insider from the Juventus camp, speaking to Corriere dello Sport, said: “We are fully aware of the interest from Milan, but we believe Morata would be a valuable addition to our squad.”
The tug-of-war between the two clubs is expected to intensify as they vie for the signature of the former Chelsea and Atletico Madrid player.
Stay tuned for further updates as the story unfolds and more details emerge regarding Morata’s future destination.
