Due to the financial difficulties surrounding an Alvaro Morata return to Juventus, the Italian media have teamed together and agreed the likeliest way the Chelsea forward could move back to Turin is via a Juan Cuadrado-esque deal involving a long-term loan with a number of payments.
This is the line the likes of Gazzetta dello Sport, Corriere dello Sport and Tuttosport have fed their readers over the past week or so, although we were yet to be given an actual amount the Serie A club would be prepared to pay.
Well, the second newspaper on that list have answered our wishes, looking at how Juventus could pull it off.
Corriere explain Juventus could propose a deal that would amount to around €60m, with €15m paid up front for a two year loan followed by a €40-45m clause to make the deal permanent (most likely compulsory).
There is also a mention of the AC Milan competition, with claims from Italy emerging on Tuesday that his agent had met with Gennaro Gattuso’s side, but the Spaniard’s priority remains his former club.
We’re still a long way off anything actually getting done, but it’s a step in the right (or wrong depending on what your Morata views are) direction if the Serie A side are already thinking about amounts and such.
