Between Morata andAtletico the calm has returned. “I can’t imagine what it means to win with this shirt and I won’t stop until I succeed“, these are the words of love that the striker dedicated to his team in a post on Instagram, definitively putting a I’m focusing on the market rumours and confirming the will of to remain at Simeon’s court. The Spaniard, in fact, will play for aanother season with the rojiblanco club, the future is still to be written but the storm has passed.
The former Juventus player would have refused a move to stay in his Spain
pharaonic offer from Saudi Arabia from Michel’s Al Qadsiah:
a three-year contract for a total of
45 million euros. There will therefore not be a
Juve-tris, which so attracted the fans of the Old Lady, one
new adventure in the CapitalGiallorossi side. Morata and his family will not return to Italy, at least for the moment. This decision is mainly due to the influence of
Cholo Simeonewhich pushed
to make it stay next year too. The coach has therefore placed his trust in Morata once again, and he is eager to repay his trust with goals. Last season he scored 21 goals and 4 assists in 48 appearances across all competitions, and he wants to be even more decisive.
So the bad feelings at Atletico are over. It was the same player in the past few months who
raise doubts about his permanence in an interview given to Marca, in which he confirmed the
possibility of a change of scenery. “For me the simplest thing is not to play in Spain, for my life, for what I have to live when I go out in our country. For me the
the easiest thing is to go and play abroad“, he said. “I haven’t spoken to anyone but if I see that Atletico want to take eight strikers, I imagine they will do it.
I can’t stay at Atletico to not play
– he had stressed, heartbroken – for not being a priority”. However, the Spanish striker has reviewed his priorities and decided to follow his heart, which
will keep him in Spain.
The player is tied to Atletico with a contract
until 2026with an option until 2027, and a
15 million euro release clauseThe Spaniard had postponed the final decision on his future until the end of the European Championship, which he is playing with
Red Furies, but in the end, peace of mind and the desire to return and know that I have a
fixed point, a team waiting for himwhich has been home for many years now. Leaving, moreover, could have put at risk the possible
World Cup 2026with less visibility despite holding the captain’s armband for the Spanish national team.
