Alvaro Morata

Napoli have join the fight to sign Real Madrid striker Alvaro Morata next summer, according to Italian website SportMediaset.it. Reports from this site suggest Napoli’s president Aurelio de Laurentiis has contacted Florentino Perez to start negotiating a possible move.

Morata, who has also been linked with a move to Arsenal and Inter Milan, might leave the Santiago Bernabeu at the end of this season looking for more minutes of play. Real Madrid would be willing to let him go, either on loan or in a permanent deal. In any case, it seems clear that the youngster will have plenty of offers to choose from.

Florentino Perez is convinced Morata can develop into an important player, thus he will try to make sure there will be a buy-back clause for the Spaniard to return to Madrid if the club wanted him.

Napoli could be an ideal destination for him to improve his game, since he’ll get help from former team-mates Gonzalo Higuain, Jose Callejon and Raul Albiol. Plus, the manager, Rafa Benitez, is a well-known Madridista.

Morata’s exit would leave Karim Benzema as the only striker in the squad. That would force Florentino Perez to bring another number 9. Luis Suarez and Sergio Aguero are Los Blancos first choices. Yet, their high price might turn Real’s striker hunt into another never-ending story, just like that of Gareth Bale last summer.

  1. Morata & Jese’ are the two most promising youth players in Europe, hope RM won’t be foolish enough to sell either of them.But the president is Perez so anything might happen after all he sacked Vicente Del Bosque after 3 successful seasons.
