Despite claims that Alvaro Morata isn’t particularly interested in a return to the Premier League, Arsenal are still pushing to sign the Spaniard.
That’s according to Corriere Torino, who look at the striker’s future, and whether or not it will be at Juventus going forward.
The general consensus is no, and he is ‘waiting for solutions to come from the market’, which is where Arsenal would come in.
The striker is ‘out of Diego Simeone’s plans’ at Atlético Madrid, and the Gunners are said to be leading ‘the platoon of clubs interested in him’.
In fact, Arsenal ‘have approached the threshold of €30m’ to try and sign him, seen as ‘just enough to satisfy’ the La Liga club.
However, ‘without Champions League football, Mikel Arteta’s project has lost a lot of charm for Morata, who has never been particularly convinced to return to London’ following his rather traumatic spell at Chelsea.
That being said, ‘the pressure of Arsenal continues’, meaning they are determined and perhaps hoping that with a Spaniard in charge at the club, he could be convinced otherwise.
