OFFICIAL: Morata extends his stay at Juventus until 2022

Juventus will keep Alvaro Morata on loan from Atletico Madrid for another year yet, with the Spaniard staying on in Turin for 2021/22.

The Spain forward spent the 2020/21 season with Juventus and managed 20 goals over the course of the campaign, which was his most successful scoring season. He also managed as many as 11 assists, equalling his record from 2015/16, also with the Bianconeri.

Morata was happy to return to Juventus in 2020, and now Massimiliano Allegri's return as coach has seen him extend another year-long loan deal, for which Atletico will receive a further 10 million euros.

Separate paths

Morata is now set to spend a second straight season away from Atletico Madrid, and his future has looked to be away from Los Rojiblancos since his clash with Diego Simeone after Atleti's Champions League loss to RB Leipzig in 2019/20.

Atleti have now earned 20 million euros from his two years on loan at Juventus, and the Italians can buy him outright for a further 35 million euros. Should Juve activate that option, Atletico will have recovered all of the money they spent to sign him from Chelsea.
