Morata, however, seems to want to leave Turin since last January. At that time Morata was in demand by Barcelona who were looking for a new center forward because Memphis Depay and Luuk de Jong were unsatisfactory.
Morata was then approached by Xavi Hernandez as Barcelona manager to refine the attacking line. Morata agreed and asked Atletico for the green light for the transfer to Barcelona.
Unfortunately, Allegri at the time refused because he still needed Morata to be Dusan Vlahovic’s tandem on the front line. Vlahovic at that time had just been bought by Fiorentina.
Allegri thinks Morata will be suitable to complete Vlahovic as a target man Juve.
“It’s true, Barcelona are interested in me. Xavi contacted me, we talked about football, about many things. It makes me really happy, I really appreciate when a former player like Xavi counts on me, he puts me at ease. “He said. Alvaro Morata to Ser.
“I had four or five good chances, but Allegri got in the way. He said to me: ‘I want you to stay, I want to see you as Vlahovic’s partner.’ I struggled to play on the left, but in the end I did.” Morata added.
