“Real Madrid will exercise their right to repurchase [Morata]”, Marotta told reporters.
Indeed, Real Madrid are expected to activate a buyback clause before selling on the Spain worldwide for considerably more, potentially as much as £40million, as reported by The Daily Mail.
After weeks of speculation over the Spaniard’s future, it has now been confirmed that he will leave the Italian champions this summer and return to the Bernabeu, two years after moving to Turin. “In the coming days, they will put it in writing”, Juventus sporting director Giuseppe Marotta Marotta said in comments reported by Gazzetta dello Sport.
Morata has impressed at Euro 2016, the striker netting twice in Spain’s 3-0 win over Turkey in the team’s second Group D clash. Then, we will see what to do: “now, there are very few chances that he will stay”.
Marotta also said that Juventus would then try to sign the striker from Madrid.
Pogba’s agent Mino Raiola has admitted he has opened talks about the sale of the France midfielder to Real Madrid – and the player has hinted they are the club he would like to join.
