Tuttosport claim Real Madrid will receive a transfer ban from FIFA, so Juventus can keep Alvaro Morata until at least 2017.
The striker arrived in a complicated deal worth €20m with options and counter-options, so his future is very much up in the air.
According to today’s edition of Turin-based newspaper Tuttosport – and Spain’s Mundo Deportivo – Real Madrid risk falling foul of FIFA for illegal signing of under-age non-EU players.

According to today’s edition of Turin-based newspaper Tuttosport – and Spain’s Mundo Deportivo – Real Madrid risk falling foul of FIFA for illegal signing of under-age non-EU players.
Similar to the issue that saw Barcelona penalised, the Merengues could be barred from transfer activity for the next two sessions.
That would mean Real Madrid couldn’t activate their clause to buy back Morata over the summer of 2016.
The clause rises as time goes on, so the club would have to pay €30m to get Morata in 2016 and €35m in 2017.
Other clubs are also interested in the Spain international, but the contract has another clause forcing them to pay at least €80m for the striker.
In that scenario, two thirds of the money would go to Juve and the other third to Real Madrid.
