A recent social media poll asking Barcelona fans who they would rather be the club’s number nine: Alvaro Morata or Luuk de Jong was mainly answered with the word ‘neither’.
But despite the lack of enthusiasm for his arrival, such are Barcelona’s current financial restrictions, that Xavi is keen on adding the Spain international to his attacking options.
Juventus might not want to keep Morata, and Atletico Madrid might not want to take him back but the striker, who also came up short at Chelsea and Real Madrid, looks like moving to the Camp Nou.
