PAPER TALK - Arsenal linked with Morata move; Pasalic on his way back to the Bridge; Zaza to make swift Juve return?
Tuttosport reports that Real Madrid striker Alvaro Morata is unhappy at the Santiago Bernabeu and that he may consider leaving the club at the end of the season. Having returned to the club he grew up at for €30 million this summer after two successful seasons at Juventus, the 23-year-old has spent much of the current campaign sat on the substitute’s bench getting increasingly frustrated.
The journal suggests that his former club may be considering a move to bring him back to Turin but that they could face competition from the Premier League. During the summer window, Arsenal was heavily linked with the Spanish international and his current situation at the European champions will not have gone unnoticed.
