Barcelona are lining up an audacious swoop for Alvaro Morata in January, with new boss Xavi reportedly phoning the Spain international over a loan move.
Morata, 29, is a Juventus player until the end of the season after the Italians signed the striker on loan from Atletico Madrid in 2020.
However, the former Chelsea man has failed to replicate his superb displays from his first spell in Turin and was seen engulfed in a touchline row with boss Max Allegri during Juve's 2-0 win over Genoa this month.
In the 72nd minute Morata was penalised for a handball in Genoa's area and he was aggrieved, opting to unleash some choice words in the direction of the referee and Genoa defender Davide Biraschi.
