After two impressive seasons with Juventus, Alvaro Morata’s run in the Serie A has come to an end, as Real Madrid recently exercised the buy-back clause inserted in the deal that brought the Spaniard to Turin to resign the 23-year-old.
The La Roja ace – currently with Spain in UEFA Euro 2016 – featured over 90 times for The Old Lady, scoring 27 goals. He helped the Italian giants to back-to-back league and cup doubles, whilst playing an instrumental role in the club’s runners-up finish in the 2014/15 Champions League campaign.
Now having left Juventus, Morata took to Instagram to big a heartfelt goodbye to the club, the fans, and the board, writing:
“Hello everyone. Writing this letter isn’t easy for me. I’d like firstly to thank all the people who believed in me, who placed their faith in me and who treated me extremely well to make me happy at Juventus and in Turin.
“Thanks to president Andrea Agnelli, Pavel Nedved, John Elkan, Giuseppe Marotta, Matteo Fabris and above all to Fabio Paratici and Javier Ribalta. Thanks to all the people who work for this immense club that is Juventus. Workers, physiotherapists, doctors, security, chefs. In brief, thanks to all who are part of Juve.
“Thanks of course to all the Juventus fans in the world for their unconditional love and support, which was never lacking.
“Thanks to the Coach for believing in me and for turning me into a better footballer, to the captains who took care of me with such dedication and to my teammates for all the incredible days I spent with them, because winning with them was spectacular.
“I remain marked by this club, its history and all of you. Wherever I go I’ll always feel like a Juventino and I’ll be able to say with pride and in a loud voice that I wore the Juventus colours and that I was one of their champions.
“Thanks once again to everyone for letting me be part of this family.”
The Spaniard, however, made no mention of his future at Santiago Bernabeu, a it remains unknown what Los Blancos have in store for the striker.
Morata continues to be linked with a move to the English Premier League, with speculation that Real Madrid’s reason for resigning Morata was to sell him off for a profit.
