Morata leaving Real Madrid. With this supposed special relationship we should try and get him. I have a feeling he is going to be a great player and is only 21. Spanish speaking manager and Soldado and Lamela too.
Eds do you think this will happen? I think it will but I have my doubts. Arsenal were interested as well and we know about their special relationship, buying Ozil.
{Ed002's Note - Putting aside the Spanish link, it is possible but there is interest from elsewhere. Morata has been dragging on from last summer when a number of clubs were interested in taking Morata on loan - this included CSKA and Arsenal. Real Madrid also thought that Liverpool would ask for Alvaro Morata as part of any transaction for Suarez but they never got that far in discussions. With a new striker arriving in the summer and Jese Rodriguez playing the way he is playing Morata may well be available for loan or sale. It was clear that there was interest from Arsenal in January and that interest remains. There is also interest from Juventus who have held discussions with Real Madrid and from Spurs. Dortmund and Napoli seem to have dropped what interest they had. If a sale rather than a loan is to happen, then Real Madrid will look for a buy-back clause which may be of a concern to the London clubs.}
