Juventus striker Simone Zaza bids farewell to his “brother” Alvaro Morata.
It was confirmed this week that the Spanish striker will return to Real Madrid, after they activated their €30m buyback clause.
Morata and Zaza struck-up a firm friendship in Turin, and the Italian international said goodbye ahead of their meeting on the pitch on Monday.
“Our work is like this, people come and people go,” Zaza wrote on Instagram.

“Our work is like this, people come and people go,” Zaza wrote on Instagram.
“In my life there are few people who I have wanted to always be a part of me, and you are one of them.
“With some [teammates] you barely get to know each other. With others, deep and lasting friendships are born. It was like that with you Alvaro: companions in the team and in life.
“The competition for a starting spot made us brothers. That’s why, among the many goodbyes, this is such a hard one to say.
“I wish you the best, because you deserve it… maybe starting on Tuesday!”
Whatever the result when Spain meet Italy on Monday, the pair have already arranged to go on holiday together.
