According to reports in both Italy and Spain, Juventus have agreed a €22m deal with Real Madrid for Alvaro Morata.
Negotiations between the two clubs have been on-going for some weeks now, but both AS and Corriere dello Sport claim there has been a breakthrough.
Juventus are believed to have signed Morata for €22m (including add-ons) but Real Madrid will have a buy-back option worth €30-€33m.
Morata will sign a four-year contract with the option for a fifth with Juventus paying wages of €2.2m net per season..
According to his agent, Morata rejected offers from Borussia Dortmund, Inter, Liverpool, Villarreal, Arsenal, Oporto and Wolfsburg to accept the Juventus move.
yeey! Morata!!.. long time since I’ve been first 🙂

Algeria donates prize money..
Bleeeh… Buy him for 22 mill and a buy back clause worth 30-33 mill? We d make hardly anything
written in small font (size 6) stating that buy back option will be available after 10 years? 🙂
I wish I was Marotta, Id demand a counter clause that says we can pay the difference between the initial purchase and the buy back to buy Madrid out of the deal. They get first choice on the kid, pay 33m for him or receive 11m more for him.
Why are we spending 22million on him they we dont have money to spend yet were splashin 22mill on this kid
Like how good could he be or is it just because he is spanish
Alvaro Morata REal Madrid B 83 games 45 goals, Real Madrid 37
games 10 goals, Spain U17- 6 matches 2 goals, Spain U18- 2 games 3
goals, Spain U19- 13 games 11 goals, Spain U21- 12 games 13 goals. Its
only that he is not getting enough time at Madrid…! He is indeed soo
special……!

Anyone can score in la liga defending us shit there anyways
Welcome!!
Morata seems very promising, yet he isn’t really the player I was hoping for. The buy back clause is a shitty business but at least its around 10mill more than we paid for him
So this deal could possibly be all wrapped up. Morata is leaving some heavy hints that he has signed
I wouldnt call it bad business, it’s a promising player and if it’s true, I’m looking forward to see him perform for us. That said, it is way too expensive and I feel cheated somehow, the buy back clause leaves a bitter taste
Absolutely hate the buy back clause, but Morata could be very productive for Juve
I was thinking the same thing. The best of this is that we have young players coming in instead of washed up 30 year olds. Time for a young, fresh and dynamic Juve.
i heard that it was a 2mil loan with obligation to buy for 20mil
I like Morata going to Juve.. but seriously, Juve to spend 22Mil for him with a buy out clause, and Berardi we can get him at less?.. The only advantage i can see on Morata are he has UCL experience and COnte likes him..
What the fuck Argentina win by luck again….
So we dont want to spend over 20 million for players. And now we buy reserves for more than that.
We’ve lost Sanchez to Arsenal because Marrotta didn’t wanna spend 25 million a month ago. Now he’s going to Arsenal for 40M.
We’ve lost Shaqiri to either Roma or Liverpool because Marrotta can’t cut a deal with a player if there’s other clubs interested in him.
But hey, let’s buy Iturbe for 30 M, he’s completely unexperienced, overrated and overpriced. And let’s get Morata too! We’ve only worked so hard to get rid of Vucinic, Quag and Matri back in the day. Let’s spend 20M for a reserve striker. That makes sense. And now we’re at it, why not buy the oldest leftback we can find. Let’s just drop all interest in Ricardo Rodriguez and buy Evra. Manchester United now wants Rodriguez too now so that’s a great help for them. Good fucking job Marrotta and Conte.
I’m seriously starting to doubt that Conte was the right choice for the coach this season.
I don’t think Morata and Iturbe are meant to be reserves 😛 But yeah I really wanted Sanchez this season. Disappointing we hardly tried to go for him and yet we’re throwing big cash on other players. Others who don’t really live up to such sums, at least not yet
I just can’t see where Morata will fit in this squad. Unless Conte doesn’t bring in any wingers and we will be using Tevez and Giovinco as wingers (and Iturbe if we get him). Otherwise Morata will be 3rd option in attack.
All of these transfer rumors seems wrong to me.
I want to hear. ‘Official: Juventus sign Shaqiri for 20M’ and not Iturbe for 30.
Morata, I hear, is really good both as a striker and a winger, so I guess that versatility makes him a good buy. Not sure how much truth there is to this, but it sounds more logic as to why Conte wants him so badly.
Yeah I’d love Shaqiri, Darmian, Sanchez, Di Maria, Rodriguez, just anyone of those.
But if Iturbe/morata joins, I’m looking forward to their impact very much!
You’re COMPLETELY right! Conte and Marotta are a disgrace! Considering that they’re buying these players PLUS they are letting Vidal go. AWFUL! They should be ashamed of themselves!
Nice and fair deal for me regarding on Morata:
Juventus will pay a €18M fee and they have reached agreement with the player. They also agreed with Real Madrid on the buy-back clause: €30M after the first year, €35M after the second year. It will expire after the third season, when Real will have a preemption on the player.
Conte has to GOOOOO along with Marotta! It’s because we buy players like Morata and Iturrbe that we fail in the Champions League. You need ELITE players for Champions League. Sanchez or Di Maria would be the only available players who could help Juve in the CH.L. Not Moratta or Iturrbe. Plus Juve is selling Vidal. This is a disgrace! LEAVE Conte and Marotta NOW!
