Álvaro Morata’s pass to Fútbol Club Barcelona is hot, hot. It is the ‘9’ that Xavi Hernández wants, he has made it clear to the technical secretariat. And she has done her homework and has managed to reach an agreement with the footballer, who welcomes joining Xavi’s project. He wants to return to Spanish football and is aware that at Barça he will have minutes and prominence.
The fact is that there are still obstacles to overcome so that the signing of Morata is a reality. Juventus is in the process of cutting off the loan with Atlético de Madrid, but first you need to find a collateral substitute (read, for example, Icardi). According to the Italian journalist Romeo Agresti, Morata and Barça have reached a total agreement whereby the forward will join the Barça team until 2023 (18 months guaranteed) with the option of another year.
The last stumbling block
Obviously now Barça has to agree to leave with the club that owns it, Atlético. Juventus has a purchase option for 35 million euros in 2022 that he does not intend to execute, so now it is time for ‘Atleti’ and Barça to understand each other.
