The money that has moved Alvaro Morata in the last six years between transfers, assignments and repurchase options it reaches up to the 190 million euros. It is the highest number of a Spanish player in the world of soccer operations market, with a career that many professionals would already like. Morata has worn the shirts of Real Madrid, Juventus, Chelsea and Atlético de Madrid and still in his labyrinth. He cannot find how to make himself indisputable. He is international with Spain and Luis Enrique maintains confidence in the forward for the three qualifying games for the Qatar World Cup 2022 that faces the National Team against Greece, Georgia and Kosovo.
Morata’s current moment is bad. It is his second stage at Juventus and he remains unconvinced, despite the fact that Pirlo, the coach, asks for patience after the European hit. He has been eliminated in the Champions League by Porto and in neither of the two games has he been able to score a goal. In Italy it is cooked. In the last game of Serie A, played on Sunday, he also remained unmarked and the you suffered a humiliating loss at home against him Benevento that places him ten points behind Inter Milan, the first classified. The strongest criticism is suffered by Cristiano Ronaldo, for the disappointment of verifying that his signing is not enough to win the desired Champions League. But Cristiano, the top scorer in the Italian championship, has good individual numbers. He has scored 23 goals in 24 games. Morata is very far, with only 7 goals.

It is a new disappointment that it produces to see how the international striker is not capable of having higher scoring records. They do not correspond to the amounts of money that the different clubs have been spending all these years in transfers, assignments and options to buy it back. Morata left Real Madrid in 2014 for Juventus for 20 million euros, two years later the white club bought it back for 30. He was traded to Chelsea for 65 million euros and, after two years in London, Atlético de Madrid opted for him in an operation at a cost of 65 million. Last summer he asked to leave and the rojiblanco club gave him to Juventus for 10 million euros. They go in total 190 million euros. It remains to be resolved what the Italian club will do. If he keeps it in property or returns it to Atleti. Morata has double purchase price: 45 million euros for this year or the option to pay another 10 million in a second assignment and 35 million in 2022 to keep it as property.
Loses tune with Cristiano Ronaldo
This is the big buck you’ve moved and can keep moving Alvaro Morata. A forward who this season has gone from more to less and has reached a point where in Italy he is also blamed for a lack of goal and the lack of harmony with Cristiano Ronaldo. In this weekend’s defeat against Benevento he was ill-advised and without danger. He started the season scoring 6 goals in the 6 games of the Champions League group stage and it seemed that he was finding his place as a scorer. There was talk of a fearsome couple: Cristiano and Morata. But the Spanish, above all, has been diluted in a Juventus that does not raise its head.
It was in the month of February when some health problems that they left him without competing and his performance decreased because of a virus. But, one of Morata’s sons, infected his father with cytomegalovirus. A virus that caused him dizziness and fainting after the first leg in the Champions League against Porto and with which he had to rest. Once recovered, it is difficult for him to find his best moment again, but Luis Enrique He has decided that he wants to count on him and it will be necessary to check how his performance is with the National Team and if, finally, he is one of those chosen for the final list of those who have to dispute the Eurocup. From the last World Cup, he fell. Lopetegui it took away his confidence at the last moment.
At 28, he is at an age of maturity in which it should be clearer what his potential is and how far he can go. What he is experiencing in this second stage at Juventus is another disappointment and he is not just any player for all the millions of euros he has moved since 2014. There are 190. More than the 94 million euros of Fernando Torres in the transfers from Atleti to Liverpool (36) and Liverpool to Chelsea (58) or that the 93 of Diego Costa, who went from Atleti to Chelsea (33) and from Chelsea returned to Atlético (55).
Little goal and a lot of money
Morata is the Spanish footballer who has circulated the most money in the different clubs that he has passed and his goals do not correspond to the investments. Chelsea’s stage was catastrophic. In the two seasons he was there, he only scored 16 goals (11 in the first and 5 in the second). We are talking about a striker who has his goal ceiling in the 20 he achieved with Real Madrid, in the 2016-17 season, in all competitions. 15 of those goals were scored in the first league that Zidane won. With the Atlético de Madrid last season scored a total of 16 goals and 12 were in the League. Luis Suárez, to compare the records, has 19 goals in this League.
It is not only the Spanish footballer who occupies the first position in the ranking of the most money in the different operations, but he is the fourth worldwide. Ahead are 310 million euros of Neymar, with transfers to Barcelona and Paris Saint Germain. Cristiano Ronaldo follows with 230 million euros in a career that has taken him from Sporting de Portugal to Manchester United, Real Madrid and Juventus. And thirdly, the Belgian Romelu Lukaku with 212 million euros. Morata is the fourth.
Today his performance and the various investments made by the clubs are once again in question with a player who decided to leave Atlético de Madrid because he got angry with Simeone, after leaving him on the bench in the quarter-final match of the last Champions League against Leipzig. Got the call from Andrea Pirlo, the Juve coach, and he wanted to go to Italy to regain confidence. Also for family reasons. His wife, Alice Campello, influenced the decision. The adventure is not going as planned and expectations are falling again with a forward who, for now, has another opportunity in Luis Enrique’s National Team.
