Chelsea Striker Alvaro Morata Reportedly Open to Juventus Return in the Summer

Chelsea's Alvaro Morata has reportedly told Juventus he is open to returning to the club this summer.

According to Rai Sport (h/t Calciomercato), Morata is not happy in London after he joined the Blues last year and has contacted the powers that be in Turin to let them know he would welcome a return to Italy.

Juventus are said to be receptive to signing him, provided Mario Mandzukic—who is reported to be a target for several Turkish and Chinese clubs, according to Calciomercato—moves on.

Morata has contributed 14 goals and six assists in all competitions for Chelsea and has showcased his outstanding ability in the air during his time at Stamford Bridge, per OptaJoe:
