Alvaro Morata has admitted he wishes to return back to Italy where he spent two years on loan with the Italian giant, Juventus.
Morata won two domestic doubles and reaching the 2015 Champions League final with Juventus, before Madrid activated a buyback option in his contract, reportedly valued at €30 million, in 2016.
Chelsea striker Alvaro Morata also admits he misses living in Italy and feels he should never have left Juventus to return to Real Madrid.
The Spain international forward said he was “treated like a kid” when he returned to the Bernabeu after a successful spell with Juventus
The 25-year-old has enjoyed a strong start to his career in England, scoring six times in nine Premier League appearances, but he has confirmed he longs to go back to Italy.
Morata also slammed Madrid’s attitude towards him following his return and felt he was practically forced to restart his career.
Morata expressed his love for his little time spent in Italy saying, “I arrived in Italy feeling like a boy and I returned feeling like a true player. I should never have left Italy and Juve.
“I really miss Italy. My wife would like to live in Spain; I’d like to live in Italy.”
Morata also believes Serie A is the toughest league he has played in due to the tactical and defensive strength of the teams.
“In Spain, technique is dominant. In Italy, it’s tactics. In England, the most relevant aspect is physical strength,” he said. “The most difficult is Italy: organised teams and very good defenders.”
