Player would ‘more than willingly’ agree to Chelsea transfer this summer: ‘Evaluations in progress’

Calciomercato have another take on Alvaro Morata returning to Juventus, and it’s quite similar to their last one.

The growing theme for the Italian website, and some in the wider Italian media, seems to be that it’s a nice idea, Morata would be up for it, but the cost of a deal is the big problem.

Calciomercato believe Morata would ‘more than willingly’ make the return to Juventus. That could be based on them knowing he was very happy at the club and living in Italy, and his first season at Chelsea hasn’t gone perfectly.

But once again, that old problem of money rears its head. It’s pointed out Chelsea paid Real Madrid €80m for the striker, and whilst there’s no definitive figure put on the price of a summer exit, the assumption must be that it wouldn’t be too far away from that amount.

Then there’s wages. This time Calciomercato say Morata is paid €8m (likely after tax, as they quote wages in Italy) plus bonuses at Chelsea, and getting near that is another hurdle.

‘Evaluations are in progress’ and that’s all it seems right now. A nice idea for Juve.
