'I'm very motivated' - Morata confirms Atletico Madrid stay after end of Juventus loan

Alvaro Morata has confirmed that he will be staying with Atletico Madrid for the duration of the 2022-23 season after the end of his loan spell at Juventus.

Morata spent the last two seasons in Turin, having initially returned to Juve for a second spell in September 2020.

The Spaniard scored 20 goals in Serie A during that time, but the Bianconeri decided against buying him outright and he now finds himself back at Wanda Metropolitano.

Morata has been strongly linked with a permanent summer transfer in recent weeks amid reported interest from the likes of Arsenal, but he still has two years left to run on his contract with Atletico.

The 29-year-old has no plans to go anywhere and is excited about his fresh start in Madrid, as he has told the Liga club's official website: "I'm very motivated and I can't wait to start training. I'm sure it's going to be a great year.

"I'm lucky to have already worked with Simeone and his team and that will make things easier. I can't wait to start preparing for this season together."
