Arsenal have “multiplied” their interest in Atletico Madrid striker Alvaro Morata, according to a record in Italy.
The 29-12 months-vintage forward is currently on loan at Juventus from Atletico. The former Chelsea striker has had a consistent season for the Bianconeri, scoring eleven times in forty four appearances. But it’s not going that Juve will pursue a everlasting deal after touchdown Dusan Vhalovic in January.
Juventus exercised their option to renew Morata’s loan from Atletico closing summer time. That mortgage cost them a similarly €10m after a €10m fee for the first loan spell. Now they can make the deal a everlasting one for €35m, however Vhalovic’s arrival has narrowed that alternative.
Instead Morata appears destined to return to the Wanda Metropolitano and Diego Simeone’s aspect are apparently looking elsewhere for a buyer.
That is in which Arsenal come in. Both Alexandre Lacazette and Eddie Nketiah have their contracts expiring on June 30, with the latter nearly actually set to transport on.
Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang also left in advance this yr and Mikel Arteta is in for a hectic summer season window.
Gazzetta dello Sport have already claimed there was interest from the Gunners in Morata.
Now Calciomercato declare Arsenal “boost up” to sign the former Chelsea marksman. And they claim Juve are interested in Morata on a complete-time agreement, however need a discount after paying €20m in mortgage costs.
Atlético aren't prepared to offer Juve any cut price to buy the player. And so the €30m that Arsenal are preparing looks a much higher proposition for Atletico than Juve €15m offer.
