Alvaro Morata’s agent Juanma Lopez confirms that Real Madrid are monitoring the striker but the player is only interested in staying at Juventus.

“Real Madrid keep an eye on him.” Lopez told Calciomercato, “but Morata only has Juventus in his head.”

“The player is happy at Juventus and thinks only about Juve. He (Morata) has a great relationship with Carlitos [Tevez], who is an important player, who always helps (Morata) a lot.”

The 22-year old Spanish international joined Juventus last summer and confirmed his commitment to the club in an interview with Gazzetta Dello Sport at the weekend.

“I didn’t choose Italy, I chose Juventus. I don’t regret it one little bit,” Morata told GdS.
“I step into the stadium, look around and everywhere there are pictures of the champions who passed through this club. Genuine legends. I am in a place where the history of football was made, so I can improve as a player here better than anywhere else.“You Italians are too critical of Serie A. The greatest thing about it is how tactical the football is. Carlos Tevez often tells me that Italy is like university for strikers. He’s right, as here you become a real player in every aspect. This is a unique opportunity for me.

“I am truly in love with Juve and want to spend much of my career in the Bianconeri jersey. I also cannot forget Juve were the first to make concrete attempts to sign me. I wasn’t very happy at Madrid, as I didn’t have much room, but Juve immediately treated me like an important player.

“Juve’s strength is that we are a united group off the field as well as on it. It feels like a family with the more experienced players ready to give advice and encouragement.

“In that sense, Gigi Buffon and Andrea Pirlo are exceptional, as they set the example of how to be a professional and are also great fun to have as teammates every day. They bring the best out of everyone in the locker room.”
