It’s not clear if the club wish to bring Morata back to play, or if they’d prefer to sell him on for a quick profit, with English side Arsenal reportedly interested.
However, AS notes that Morata would have to agree to return to Madrid, and he signed a new and improved contract with the Bianconeri earlier this season.
he 23-year-old could therefore decide to respect his contract and stay in Turin, as Madrid cannot force him to return.
