Tuttosport like talking about Alvaro Morata, he’s a Juventus old boy and was much liked at the club, but more often than not they throw him in with Anthony Martial, and it ends up being a transfer more talked up for the Manchester United player.

That’s because, as is reiterated by Tuttosport again, they believe a transfer for Martial is ‘certain’ this summer. This has been repeated several times by the Turin newspaper, for various reasons.

Not getting enough joy under Jose Mourinho, it’s thought Martial will push for an exit and the club won’t try too hard to keep him. The Italian newspaper state a transfer is all the likelier because the player’s Manchester United contract expires in June 2019.

They don’t mention the Premier League club have an option to extend that by a further season.

Recently they’ve costed the transfer at around €50m, now they put it at €40m, which sounds even more optimistic. Competition from Barcelona and Bayern Munich is mentioned, but it must be said there’s nothing in the media closest to those clubs, at least at the moment.

Martial is a ‘concrete track’ for Juventus, yet they’re worried about competition which doesn’t have a lot proof backing up its existence. Oh, and that €40m fee.

A Manchester United exit is certainly possible, but surely not on those terms.

Tuttosport have been reporting that good relations between Ed Woodward and Beppe Marotta should help deals between Juve and Man United this summer, and this is one for the pair to work on.
