Alvaro Morata will return to Atletico Madrid after his loan at Juventus comes to an end on Thursday, the Serie A club have announced, reports AFP. The Spanish international forward will leave Turin after the two clubs failed to come to an agreement that would have allowed him to extend his stay in Italy. “Alvaro Morata's adventure at Juventus has come to an end,” the Italian club said in a statement. “The Spanish forward, on loan from Atletico Madrid over the last two seasons, leaves the Bianconeri for the second time and returns to the ranks of the Colchoneros.” Morata was in his second spell at Juve after being loaned there by Atletico in 2020, winning the Italian Cup the following year and scoring 32 times in all competitions. He previously played for the club between 2014 and 2016, when he won two league and cup doubles and reached the final of the Champions League in 2015. Juventus needed to pay 35 million euros to make Morata's move permanent according to the deal struck with Atletico, but Italian media report that he could still return if the Spanish side lower their asking price during the summer.
