Buffon: Madrid Hold Morata’s Future In Their Hands
Juventus veteran goalkeeper Gianluigi Buffon has stated
Madrid hold all the cards concerning Alvaro Morata’s future.
Morata has been continually linked with a move away from
Juventus, with a return to Madrid possible.
The Spain international will love to remain at Turin, but
Madrid retain a buy back clause, and Buffon admits that media coverage would
seem to suggest that Madrid hold all the cards.
“After reading the papers, I think that neither the player
nor Juventus have a lot to say about this,” he said ahead of Italy’s friendly
match with Spain.
“It’s Real Madrid who have to decide because there is a
buy-back clause.
“What the player or the club where he plays wants is
relative, because it seems like Madrid will decide his future.”
Morata joined Juventus on a five-year deal in July 2014 and
went on to claim the domestic double and reach the Champions League final –
scoring in both legs of the semi-final against Madrid – in his first season
with the club.
He has scored 10 goals in 40 appearances in all competitions
this term.
