Alvaro Morata will not leave Juventus in this transfer window, forcing Massimiliano Allegri to find a way to deploy both the Spaniard and new signing Dusan Vlahovic.
The Spanish forward had been hoping for a move to Barcelona this month, but it took the Bianconeri a while to secure the Serbian star’s signature, and so a move away from Turin never materialised for the former Chelsea forward.
As detailed by La Gazzetta dello Sport, Allegri will now have to come up with a plan that allows him to start both Morata and Vlahovic together, and this could see the Spaniard utilised in a way similar to how Mario Mandzukic was once used.
Whilst Morata is not Mandzukic, they share many characteristics, including a good work rate and strong positioning off the ball. Allegri reached the Champions League final using the Croatian forward on the wing in a 4-2-3-1 and the Spanish forward could find himself in a similar role this season.

Morata has plenty of skill, creativity and vision and I am pleased he is staying for a few more months. He can score and set up goals at the highest level. We have seen him score in CL final and the Semi final of the Euros.
Agree Chris. Keeping Dybala is imperative.
