Álvaro Morata is a request expresses of Xavi Hernández, by what the FC Barcelona already works so that it incorporate to the first team of face to the next weeks. For the moment, already it has achieved what seemed in principle impossible: the 'himself' of the Athletic of Madrid. Now, the sportive direction will have to put hands to the work.
Some sectors of the club rojiblanco showed reacios to reinforce a direct rival with is the Barcelona picture, but finally decided to access to the traspaso. This yes, the Athletic has put only a condition to carry out the operation: that the same include the money that has to disburse by the signing of Antoine Griezmann.
From this point, the quantities will depend of the value of Morata that finish for agreeing both clubs. During the past month of September, the French forward returned to the Athletic with a clause of compulsory purchase after the second season. The club colchonero will have to pay 40 millions at the end of the present course if it plays a number of parties that the Barça considers very asumibles.
By his part, Morata left in condition of yielded by two seasons to the Juventus, in September of 2020, with an option of purchase of 45 millions the first summer and of 35 the following. The agreement included a clause that forced to the Juve to have to pay 10 millions by each season of cession without purchase.
The Italian club did not make the traspaso of the Spanish forward this summer, and neither seems to have the intention to do it the next. The Juventus does not see in Morata to the forward that wishes of face to the future, and neither the Athletic, that has decided to opt by other forwards in the course of this time.
It depends on the management of the Barça
Considering this stage, the operation could close without that it report any cost for the two. The Barça in this case would forgive him the money of Griezmann and Morata would be culé to cost zero. However, everything will depend on a key factor that would delay the agreement: the Barça has to attain exits, or that Dembélé renew with an inferior index card, to be able to inscribe so much to Ferran Torres as to Morata.
