Pavel Nedved does not believe Alvaro Morata will leave Juventus for Real Madrid – “he’s ours, I only see him at Juve”.
The Spanish striker arrived in Turin in the summer of 2014, but Los Merengues retain a buyback clause for summer 2016.
“He’s ours, and I only see him at Juve,” Nedved, now a Bianconeri director, told reporters after a golf event.
“He’s very good, and I think so far he’s only at 60 per cent.”

The Spanish striker arrived in Turin in the summer of 2014, but Los Merengues retain a buyback clause for summer 2016.
“He’s ours, and I only see him at Juve,” Nedved, now a Bianconeri director, told reporters after a golf event.
“He’s very good, and I think so far he’s only at 60 per cent.”
The former midfielder, who won the Ballon d’Or in his time at Juventus, was asked whether the current vintage could win the Scudetto this season, after a poor start.
“We can’t think about that, it’s too early. We’ve had an indifferent start because of the injuries, but I believe we have a strong team.
“[Beppe] Marotta and [Fabio] Paratici have done well, we have a nice mix of young and experienced players. I’m confident, because we have a high technical level.
“You could think that the veterans have had a mental decline in the League, but it’s not like that, I see them every day.
“We’ve been unlucky in games where we’ve played well, but haven’t managed to win. The team is there, we’ve bought strong players.
“Paulo Dybala? He has everything to become a phenomenon. On a technical level he has no equal, he’s doing more than I expected.
“As for Paul Pogba, I’ll always speak clearly. He must try to play less, be less beautiful but more decisive for the team. He’s young, he has time to become a superstar.”
Gigi Buffon was omitted from the shortlist for this year’s Ballon d’Or, and as a former winner, Nedved admits he thought it was odd.
“He had a fantastic season,” the Czech Fury reflected.
“To exclude him was a really strange thing.”
