Morata’s future at Juventus is in serious doubt as the Guardian reported last week that Real Madrid have made a decision to activate a £23.6m buyback clause that was inserted in to the deal that saw him leave the Bernabeu two years ago. However, if United and Arsenal expect Morata to be a prolific goal-scorer from the get-go, they should look elsewhere.

This exuberant sort of fee is something that can not be matched by the reigning Italian champions, who are conscious of the fact that Morata is likely to leave the Juventus stadium come the summer.

There’s no apparent source to these claims though with it simply said by website Clubcall.com Arsenal are willing to meet the Real asking price, once we’ve activated our by back clause and confirmed his Turin exit, yet Chelsea will be competition for Arsene Wenger’s side. The Gunners are actively looking for a striker in the transfer market after they lost Danny Welbeck to an ankle injury for nine months.

Chelsea are reportedly in talks to sign the forward and even Manchester United have been linked with a move for him.

PSG are also said to be interested in signing the striker with Napoli looking at Morata as a possible replacement for Gonzalo Higuain, should the Argentinian leave in the summer.
