Rossi: ‘Morata should stay at Juventus’

Paolo Rossi believes Alvaro Morata should stay at Juventus, rather than return to Real Madrid.

The Spanish striker joined the Bianconeri in 2014, but Los Merengues retain a buyback clause which they can activate this summer or next.

“He’s a technically complete striker,” Rossi, who won the World Cup in 1982, told Diario As.

“He’s also shown he can keep a cool head in the most important matches, in spite of his age. He’s worth every penny of his €35m clause.

“He’s also shown he can keep a cool head in the most important matches, in spite of his age. He’s worth every penny of his €35m clause.

“He’s mentally strong, he knows what he wants and his ambition is to be number one this year. Maybe he and [Paulo] Dybala should learn to link up more, but selfishness is normal for a striker.

“Returning to Madrid? I don’t know if he’d be a protagonist.”

Rossi spent four seasons with Juventus in his playing days, winning two Scudetti and the European Cup.
