The Catalan club has been exposed to a new crisis that prevents team coach Xavi Hernandez’s dream of signing a beloved deal.
And according to what was published by the Spanish newspaper AS, Barcelona coach Xavi Hernandez asked the club’s management to sign Alvaro Morata to support the offensive line in the second part of the season, especially after Sergio Aguero’s retirement, and the possibility of losing Osman Dembele.
And the newspaper claimed that Barcelona will face a big obstacle on its way to contracting Juventus striker Alvaro Morata
She stated that it was Juventus that was standing in the way of Barcelona during the last period, but the Italian club decided to allow Avaro Morata to leave in the middle of the season, and this is due to the approach of the old lady’s club to contract with the brilliant Fiorentina striker Dusan Vlahovic.
And the newspaper indicated in its report that the problem now is with Atletico Madrid, who owns the player’s card. He does not prefer the Spanish striker to go to play for Barcelona, as he is one of his direct competitors in La Liga.
The newspaper said that Morata plays for Juventus on loan until the end of the season, and has the option to buy the final in the summer for 30 million euros. Although the club will sign Vlahovic, coach Massimiliano Allegri does not mind Morata staying with the team until the end of the current season.
The report indicated that Barcelona will look for other goals to consolidate the head of the spear position during the remaining few days in the winter transfer market.
