Like a roller coaster. This is how he is living Álvaro Morata the 23-24 season. The same one that started with personal record of goals, until he reached 20, to rub shoulders with the great 9 of Europe, he has become an oasis of achievement, a target in 17 games. A painful drought for anyone who lives off goals. And the Madrid striker does it.
Once the numbers are written, they are antagonistic in a campaign that is clearly divided into two, it is time to talk about reality… and the future. The one that is back in the air again after its two renewals last summer until 2027 with salary cuts while removing the leaves of a continuity that ended up being confirmed at the end of July, when Simeone He convinced him in Seoul and with MARCA as the only witness of his importance and that he would be the 9th starter this season.
Curiously, a decision of the Cholohis change in the break in Dortmund, It has hurt the striker in this particular crisis that he is experiencing with the goal. It is true that he missed a clear chance that could have changed the outcome of the duel and the tie, but also that he did not have another 9 on the bench and that the 19 understood that he could reverse the situation on the field.
Be that as it may, Morata lived the second act on the bench and his future is once again up in the air despite the undoubted confidence expressed by the coach during the preseason… and the season. Not in vain, beyond Memphis’ injuries, almost all the big games have come with Alvaro as a starter.
Simeone: “Morata had an incredible six months and now he can’t find the goal”
Italy and Arabia on the prowl
Thus, the future becomes an unknown… again. The Juventus He likes it to be a great club in which he has already played twice, triumphing both times. His wife is Italian and beyond how happy she is in Madrid, where he has just opened his house, the option of Serie A is always present in his career.
Also the gate of arabia it’s open. As MARCA told Last summer the new King Midas of football tempted him with a brutal offer that exceeded 50 kilos per season. Then he said no, but now the Arab solution would gain strength for the last big contract of one of the forwards who has signed the best career in the last decade.
The end of the season can change everything… when he overcomes his absence
This does not mean, by any means, that Morata’s decision has been made. Football takes many turns and changing your scoring success in the last six games can turn your situation 180 degrees. By power, I could even lift the first Pichichi or Zarra of his career while the exit door is open for Morata… at least for the moment.
First, of course, he must overcome the ailment that prevented him from playing in Vitoria and training yesterday. We talk about a “acute case of trigeminal neuralgia”, a paralyzing facial nerve that causes a lot of pain and that makes him a doubt, although it is not ruled out, to face Athletic next Saturday.
