Despite Massimiliano Allegri's statements, FC Barcelona would not have given up on recruiting Alvaro Morata this winter.
Despite the arrival of Ferran Torres , FC Barcelona still wants to see a real number 9. It must be said that Luuk De Jong does not convince not while Memphis Depay is not a pure center forward. With this in mind, Xavi has made Alvaro Morata his top priority. But Massimiliano Allegri cast a big chill on this file. “Morata will not leave. He is a player who scored 21 goals last year, and who is already 7 this year. He is a successful player and he is very important. I spoke to him and I told him that he will not move from here because to find someone of his level, you have to take the 4 or 5 best forwards. Alvaro remains with a lot of enthusiasm, that's all, “confided the Juventus coach at a press conference.
Xavi continues to push for Morata
Sufficient for end this track? Not really according to the information from AS. “The Alvaro Morata track is absolutely not ruled out”, assures a source close to FC Barcelona to the Spanish media which adds that Xavi maintains contact with the striker of the Juventus and even called him on Tuesday to repeat his desire to attract him to Catalonia. Alvaro Morata is therefore more than ever the priority of Barça which intends to do everything in its power to attract it this winter.
