Alvaro Morata discusses his personal trouble over the last season with Juventus, and confirms 'my future doesn't depend on me'.
The striker seems almost certain to return to Real Madrid via a buy-back clause fixed at €30m, as reports suggest the Spanish club will close the procedure by June 30.
“It was tough this year to go three months without a single goal,” Morata told Marca. “It was a very difficult time for me, for a host of different reasons.

“It was tough this year to go three months without a single goal,” Morata told Marca. “It was a very difficult time for me, for a host of different reasons.
“I'd parted ways with my girlfriend, my family had a few problems and I had an injury that most people didn't know about, a groin inflammation.
“Anyone who experienced it knows that it's among the most bothersome things you can have. It's incredibly painful and it keeps you from shooting and crossing.
“There have been games when I had to inject an anti-inflammatory directly into my pelvis in order to play.
“Gigi [Buffon] told me that when we're unhappy, the best thing to do is to shut yourself in at home and cry. But you should never show your weakness because people will attempt to destabilise you.
“You must always keep your chin up and transmit the feeling that you're fine and that nothing can touch you.”
Morata decided not to talk about his transfer situation at the moment, as he is focused on his work with La Roja.
“Right now all I'm thinking about are the Euros. I worked a lot and I've overcome many difficult moments in the past to be here. Now all I'm interested in is working hard and trying to win.
“What I want is to play, and to feel happy and important. We'll see what happens later. Staying at Juventus or going to Real Madrid is something that doesn't depend on me. My ambition is to keep winning titles.”
