Zapping World Eleven EXCLUDED: Édouard Mendy’s “Little Brother” interview!
It was one of the hot issues of the winter transfer window. By securing the services of Dusan Vlahovic for 75 million euros from Fiorentina, Juventus Turin clearly indicated the exit door to Alvaro Morata. The Spanish striker, on loan from Atlético Madrid in Italy, saw his name mentioned in several clubs, including Barça. The Catalans, very active during this last transfer period, have indeed tried to recruit him, but have preferred to opt for other solutions on the attacking front by bringing in Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, Ferran Torres or even Adama Traoré (in the form of a loan).
After the disappointment, the former Real Madrid returned to this aborted transfer by explaining that Massimiliano Allegri had reassured him about his position in the team, explaining to him that he was going to play behind the Serbian colossus in the position of second striker, as he explains in an interview with Men’s Health Mag.
I could have gone to Barcelona in January, but Allegri told me that another striker would arrive and that I would play as a second striker. All the doors were then closed.
In the meantime, he should join Spain and the Colchoneros again at the end of the season, unless the Old Lady decides to transfer him definitively.
to summarize
Alvaro Morata, the Spanish striker from Juventus Turin, was very close to signing for Barça during the last winter transfer window, but it failed because Allegri wanted to keep him to make him the second striker.
