Ancelotti has no intention to re-sign Morata
Real Madrid coach Carlo Ancelotti has all but confirmed that los Blancos will not be making a bid for Juventus striker Alvaro Morata.
The La Liga side surprisingly cashed in on the talented forward last summer, but not without including a buy-back clause.
And while many expected Real to trigger said option after Morata’s impressive performances in Turin, los Blancos coach Carlo Ancelotti believes that the 22-year-old will remain with the Bianconeri after all.
“He needed to play,” Ancelotti said in an interview with La Gazzetta dello Sport. “He’s a young boy who was looking for more opportunities and consistency. He had a lot of offers, he’s the one who chose Juve.
“He’s a modern striker, he has pace, rhythm and intensity, he’s cool in front of goal and is a hard worker.
“In Morata’s contract there’s a right of redemption [for us], but I think he’ll stay at Juventus.”
Despite arriving in Turin after making just eight starts for Real Madrid, Morata didn’t need long to prove his worth to coach Max Allegri.
The youngster eventually nailed down a regular starting berth alongside Carlos Tevez and has so far scored 9 goals in just 10 starts.
Morata scored the winning goal in the first leg of the Champions League tie with Borussia Dortmund.
