Alvaro Morata’s uncertain future in Turin could affect his mood, given that Juventus are unwilling to make his move permanent for €35m at the end of the season.
The Spaniard was involved in a touchline row with Massimiliano Allegri during Juventus-Genoa last night and there are multiple reasons behind his annoyance.
“He was booked, he was continuing to argue and so I preferred to take him off. It’s disappointing, as Alvaro had played well and so did the whole team,” Allegri explained at the end of the match.
Sky Sport Italia highlights how Morata usually seems quite irritable when he fails to score.
He was booked for dissent in the second half after a coming together with Davide Biraschi and Allegri replaced him.
Morata didn’t seem happy, and the Tuscan coach pushed him on the shoulder and shouted: ‘You gifted them a free kick!’
The Spain international has scored five goals in 19 appearances across all competitions this season, but Football Italia understands the Bianconeri are not willing to make his move permanent for €35m at the end of the campaign.
The Bianconeri could only sign Morata permanently only for a lower fee.
The Serie A giants have already paid €20m for the player’s two-year loan, but have set their sights on different strikers for January and 2022-23 with Fiorentina star Dusan Vlahovic on top of their shopping list.
Morata played down problems with Allegri with a social media post after the game, writing ‘Great win, always together and no controversy.’
However, his uncertain future in Turin and his lack of goals over the last two months (only two in 12 appearances) possibly have impacted his mood.
